CANDY Grand'O Vita GVS169DC3 9Kg Washing Machine with 1600 rpm - White

Product Information

With a drum capacity that isn’t too far off the typical max 9Kg, this washing machine will be suitable for the average or larger family. The smart features also ensure that it is perfect for those who don’t have a lot of time to choose specific settings.

Water remaining in the drum can cause this. Water not draining away needs to be dealt with by a trained technician. Incorrect control options or settings can also affect the spin cycle. An unbalanced load in a machine fitted with an electronic sensor can also stop the machine from spinning. The appliance is really noisy The easy iron function also ensures that this is a great choice for those on a busy schedule, whilst the economy wash will save you even more money. The KG detector also helps ensure that the right level of water is used with every wash.

Running costs are impressively low, even more remarkable by virtue of how little this washing machine costs. Stain removal is about as good as I can expect from a machine at this price.

Rated A+++, the Candy Grand’O Vita GVS169DC3 should be efficient to use and run. To test, I started out with our standard wash at 30ºC. This cycle used 0.53kWh of power and a fairly frugal 29.4l of water. Features and programmes – Very basic controls, but they’re easy to use and there are wash programmes to cover most types of clothing.The detergent drawer is as you’d expect Candy Grand’O Vita GVS169DC3 performance – Impressive running costs and decent stain removal for the price Stain removal wasn’t quite as effective, since the stain strip folded and twisted inside the sheet during washing. As such, results may vary from wash to wash. I found that most of the stains were removed, but there was some red remaining, while the tomato sauce stain had partially transferred to another part of the stain strip. However, where the strip hadn’t become folded, the ketchup stain was less visible than on the 30ºC cotton wash. It’s worth pointing out that in both tests, the countdown timer wasn’t particularly accurate. For the synthetic wash, I found that the last 2 minutes of the spin cycle took closer to 10 minutes to complete. Think of it as an indicator of time, rather than a hard-fast timer.

Functions are easy to use too, ensuring that you won’t have to stress over finding the right setting for your needs. The smart features also add to the energy savings that you can get with this device. Pros Spin efficiency – Excellent, particularly when the washing machine can run at 16oorpm to leave clothes comparatively dry. This could be a reset failure, failure to complete a programme, or an issue with door opening waiting time. If water is still in the drum this will prevent the door from opening.

The following list states the fault and the parts of the appliance that could be the cause: The machine won’t start To get some more in-depth running costs, I used the figures stated on the EU energy label, which assume 220 washes per year. This let me break-down the stated energy and water consumption figures to give us an average cost per wash, using average electricity and water costs. Features and programmes – Very basic controls, but they’re easy to use and there are wash programmes to cover most types of clothing.

One noteworthy feature of this washing machine is the intelligent sensor technology. At the start of each cycle the machine analyses the load’s weight, and adjusts the time, water, and electricity used by the machine. This gives it an A+++ energy-efficient rating, helping you save on energy bills whilst helping the environment. This is often an issue with the outlet pipe which may need re-aligning by a qualified plumber. Mid-cycle stoppingStain removal – Pretty good on the 30ºC wash, although the synthetic wash ended up folding the stain strip leaving a blob of ketchup behind. Error codes vary from E01 to E18. For a comprehensive guide of how to identify these codes simply refer to your manufacturer’s handbook Candy Washing Machine Issues KG Mode - Weighs the load during the first four minutes and adjusts the length of the programme and the water consumption accordingly Next to the programme dial, you’ll see the Smart Touch area with a picture of a smartphone. This is to enable NFC-enabled smartphones to transmit a programme from the Candy Simpli Fi app to washing machine. Only, it isn’t all NFC smartphones, since iPhones currently aren’t supported and you can only use an Android handset.
