Washer displays D08 and stops; often occurs during spin or high-speed operation.

Safety first: Keep the washer unplugged while adjusting installation components.

Rebalance the load:

• Open the door once the lock releases.
• Redistribute laundry evenly around the drum. Avoid washing a single heavy item alone (e.g., one bath mat).
• Run a spin-only cycle.

Check installation:

• Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side using a spirit level.
• Adjust the front and rear feet so the machine is stable and does not rock.

Inspect suspension:

• Remove the front lower or rear panel and inspect the shock absorbers (dampers) attached to the tub.
• If they are leaking oil, bent, or offer little resistance when moved by hand, replace them as a pair with Brandt-compatible dampers.

If D08 persists with balanced loads and good suspension, an imbalance sensor or control logic fault may be present and requires professional diagnosis.
