How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before removing the detergent drawer.

  • Clean detergent drawer: Remove the drawer and wash thoroughly under warm water. Clean the housing and water jets with a small brush.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water flow at the inlet; clean inlet filters if partially blocked.
  • Adjust load and detergent: Do not overload the drum. Use the recommended amount of HE detergent for your water hardness and load size.
  • Run maintenance wash: Run an empty hot wash with a washing machine cleaner to remove internal residue that can affect rinsing.
