To select the appropriate wash cycle, turn the program selector knob to the desired program. Refer to the user manual for guidance on which cycle to use for specific fabric types and soil levels.
Ensure the machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Check that the door is closed properly and that the water supply is connected and turned on. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it out gently. Wash it under warm water to remove any residues. Make sure to dry it thoroughly before reinserting it into the machine.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent drawer, checking and cleaning the filter, and ensuring the drum is free of foreign objects. Running an empty wash cycle with a drum cleaner can also help maintain cleanliness.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Inspect the filter for any obstructions and clean it if necessary. Ensure the drain pump is functioning correctly. If issues persist, seek professional assistance.
Verify that the spin speed setting is appropriate for the load. Make sure the load is balanced within the drum. If the problem continues, inspect the machine for any blockages or consult the user manual.
Ensure the machine is level and stable. Check that the transit bolts have been removed. Avoid overloading the machine and distribute clothes evenly inside the drum.
Error code 'F05' typically indicates a problem with the water drain. Check the drain pump and filter for blockages, and ensure the drain hose is clear. Refer to the manual for detailed troubleshooting steps.
Use cold water cycles whenever possible, ensure full loads are washed, and regularly maintain the machine to keep it running efficiently. Select energy-saving modes if available.
First, ensure the cycle has fully completed. Wait a few minutes as the door lock mechanism may take time to release. If it remains locked, check for any error codes and consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.
