Other Candy Model Issues 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

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.

Noise performance is decent, and I measured the Candy Grand’O Vita GVS169DC3 at 57.7dB during the standard part of the wash, taken from 30cm from the middle of the door. Spin speed was 79.6dB. Both figures are below the figure stated on the EU energy label, and about average for a cheaper washing machine. Candy Grando tumble dryer problems may include making an electrical buzzing noise without the drum moving. This can point to a problem with the drum assembly and will need a technician to fix it.When certain programmes are selected the machine will stop during the rinse cycle. This suspends the clothes in water before the final spin and is related to the Fast Iron cycle. If that light is flashing this indicates the machine needs to complete the final spin and pump the water out. If in doubt ask the Candy washing machine specialists. When Professional Help Is Needed Spin efficiency – Excellent, particularly when the washing machine can run at 16oorpm to leave clothes comparatively dry.
