Ensure that clothes are evenly distributed in the drum. Avoid overloading by keeping the load at or below the maximum recommended weight. This helps in effective washing and prevents damage to the machine.
First, check if the machine is properly plugged in and the power socket is functional. Ensure that the door is closed securely. If the problem persists, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it out until it stops, then press the release lever to fully remove it. Clean the drawer with warm water and a brush to remove any residue. Dry thoroughly before reinserting.
Run a maintenance wash monthly using an empty cycle with hot water and a drum cleaner or white vinegar. This helps remove detergent buildup and prevents odors.
Ensure the washing machine is level on the floor. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Check if the load is balanced and redistribute clothes if needed.
Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Inspect and clean the pump filter located at the bottom of the machine. If the problem persists, there may be an issue with the pump that requires professional service.
The lint filter should be cleaned after every wash cycle to ensure optimal performance and prevent clogs.
Wait a few minutes to allow the door lock mechanism to release. If it remains locked, ensure the machine has fully drained. If necessary, turn off the machine and unplug it for a few minutes before trying again.
Refer to the user manual for cycle descriptions. Use the control panel to select the cycle that matches your laundry type and soil level. Adjust temperature and spin speed settings if needed.
Leave the door open after each wash to allow moisture to escape. Regularly clean the drum and gasket with a mixture of water and vinegar. Use an appropriate amount of detergent to prevent buildup.
