Quick help
| What you see | Safe next step | When to request service |
|---|---|---|
| A code or warning appears | Write down the exact characters and the complete rating-label model. The general code examples below are not confirmed for this unit. | If the warning persists, recurs, or appears with a leak, unsafe operation or a failed cycle. |
| A cycle stops or will not start | Check that the appliance is safely powered and its door or lid is fully closed; do not force a locked door. Compare with your model's official instructions. | If controls remain unresponsive or door locking is abnormal. |
| Water is on the floor | Stop the cycle; where safe, close the household water tap and isolate power without walking through water. Do not open panels or dismantle a wet appliance. | If water is near electrics, leaking continues or the source is not obvious. |
These first checks do not require opening an electrical cabinet or running an undocumented reset. Record whether the appliance was filling, draining, spinning or drying when the problem appeared.
