To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry into the drum. Add the appropriate amount of detergent. Close the lid, select the desired wash program using the control panel, and press the 'Start' button to begin the cycle.
If the washing machine stops mid-cycle, check if there is a power supply issue or if the water supply is interrupted. Make sure the lid is properly closed. If the problem persists, unplug the machine for a few minutes, then restart it.
Run an empty cycle with hot water and add a cup of white vinegar or a drum cleaning agent. This helps remove residue and odors. Ensure that you clean the drum once a month for optimal performance.
The washing machine may not spin properly if the load is unbalanced. Try redistributing the clothes evenly. Also, check if the 'Spin' option is selected correctly. If the issue continues, inspect the drive belt for wear or damage.
Inspect the hoses for any cracks or loose connections. Make sure the drain hose is properly secured and not blocked. Check the detergent drawer for overuse of detergent, which can cause overflow.
Regularly clean the detergent drawer and drum. Check and clean the filter every few months. Inspect hoses for wear and replace if necessary. Run a hot water cycle with vinegar or a washing machine cleaner monthly.
Consult the manual for the recommended wash programs for different fabric types. Use 'Delicate' for fragile items, 'Normal' for everyday clothes, and 'Heavy Duty' for bulkier items like towels and bed linens.
Ensure that the water faucets are open and the hoses are not kinked. Check the inlet filters for any blockages. If the problem persists, inspect the water inlet valve for malfunctions.
Ensure the washing machine is level on the floor. Distribute the laundry evenly in the drum. Avoid overloading the machine, and check for any foreign objects in the drum or filter.
Yes, you can manually reset the washing machine by unplugging it from the power outlet, waiting for about 1-2 minutes, and then plugging it back in. This can help resolve minor issues or errors.
