To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry into the drum. Add the appropriate amount of detergent into the dispenser. Select your desired wash program using the control panel, and then press the "Start" button.
Ensure the washing machine is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Check if the door is properly closed and the "Start" button has been pressed. Also, verify if the water supply is turned on.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it out and pressing down on the release lever. Wash it under warm water using a mild detergent. Ensure it's fully dry before reinserting it into the machine.
Regularly clean the detergent drawer and filter. Perform a maintenance wash monthly with an empty drum using hot water and a cup of white vinegar to prevent residue buildup.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Also, inspect the filter for any obstructions. If issues persist, consider contacting a professional technician.
Ensure the washing machine is level and the transit bolts have been removed. Avoid overloading the machine and try redistributing the laundry evenly in the drum.
Leave the door slightly open after each wash to allow air circulation. Use a washing machine cleaner monthly and avoid excessive use of detergent.
Turn off the power and water supply. Wait a few minutes to see if the door unlocks automatically. If not, refer to the user manual for the emergency door release procedure.
Use a high-efficiency (HE) detergent for the best performance and to avoid excessive suds. Follow the detergent manufacturer's guidelines for dosage.
Refer to the user manual for the specific error code definition. Common solutions include checking water supply, ensuring the door is properly closed, and verifying the drain hose condition.
