To start a wash cycle, load your laundry into the drum, add detergent, close the lid, and select your desired wash cycle using the control panel. Press the 'Start' button to begin the cycle.
Check if the machine is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker isn’t tripped. Ensure the lid is closed completely and securely. If it still won't start, try resetting the machine or consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
Run a maintenance cycle using a washing machine cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Select a hot water cycle and allow the machine to complete it without any laundry inside.
Ensure the machine is level and all four feet are in firm contact with the floor. Avoid overloading the washer, and redistribute the load if necessary. Also, check for any foreign objects stuck in the drum.
To reset the washer, unplug it from the power outlet, wait about one minute, and then plug it back in. You can also try pressing and holding the 'Start' button for a few seconds to reset.
It is recommended to use high-efficiency (HE) detergent for optimal performance and to prevent excess suds. Check the detergent packaging for the HE symbol.
Check for clogs in the drain hose or filter. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or too high above the washer. Also, inspect the drain pump for any obstructions.
It is recommended to clean the washer drum and run a maintenance cycle once a month. Additionally, inspect hoses and connections every six months for signs of wear and tear.
Run a cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Ensure the lid is left open between washes to allow the interior to dry and prevent mold growth.
Yes, you can wash bulky items, but it's important to not overload the machine. Choose the 'Bulky Items' cycle and ensure the item can move freely in the drum for an effective wash.
