How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains before opening any electronic compartments.
Basic reset:
- Power cycle: Unplug the machine for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and test.
- Check for moisture: Inspect around the control board and display for signs of condensation or leaks. Dry gently with a soft cloth and allow the unit to air dry for several hours.
- Inspect connectors: Remove the top or rear cover to access the main PCB and display board. Reseat all ribbon cables and plug connectors firmly.
- Look for damage: Examine the PCB for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or corrosion. If present, the board should be replaced rather than repaired at home.
Important: Firmware updates and board-level repairs should only be performed by authorized Gorenje service centers.
