To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry and add detergent. Then, turn on the machine using the power button. Select the desired wash program using the program selector dial, adjust any settings like temperature or spin speed if necessary, and press the start button to begin the cycle.
If the washing machine doesn't start, check that it is properly plugged in and that the door is closed securely. Ensure that the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, inspect the circuit breaker or fuse box for any issues.
To clean the detergent drawer, pull it out gently until it stops, then press the release lever to remove it completely. Rinse the drawer under warm water to remove any detergent residue. Use a soft brush if necessary. Dry it thoroughly before reinserting.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent drawer, checking and cleaning the door seal, inspecting and cleaning the filter, and running a regular cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner to prevent mold and odors.
Ensure that the washing machine is level and stable. Check that the transit bolts have been removed if the machine is newly installed. Make sure the load is balanced evenly in the drum. Adjust the feet to stabilize the machine if necessary.
Check all hoses for tight connections and ensure there are no cracks or damage. Inspect the door seal for any debris or damage. Make sure the detergent drawer is closed properly. If leaks persist, contact a service technician.
To prevent mold and odors, leave the door open after each wash to allow the drum to dry. Clean the door seal regularly and run a monthly cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner. Avoid using excessive detergent.
To avoid unbalanced loads, distribute laundry evenly around the drum. Wash larger items with smaller ones to balance the weight. Avoid overloading the machine, which can cause imbalance and affect performance.
If the washing machine is not draining, check for clogs in the drain hose or pump filter. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Clean the filter regularly to prevent blockages. If the problem continues, contact a technician.
To reset the washing machine, turn off the machine and unplug it from the power outlet. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can help resolve minor glitches and restore normal operation.
