How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the control panel.
- 1. Check child lock: Refer to the user manual for the child lock combination (often holding specific buttons). Deactivate the lock and try again.
- 2. Reset power: Unplug for 5 minutes, then reconnect and attempt to start a simple cycle.
- 3. Inspect start button: Remove the control fascia and check the tactile switch behind the start/pause button. If it does not click or is physically damaged, the UI board may need replacement.
- 4. Check ribbon cable: Ensure the cable between UI and main PCB is firmly connected and undamaged.
