Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting any components.

  • Check outlet and plug: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Inspect the washer's plug and, if fitted, replace a blown fuse with the correct rating.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check mains filter: Remove the rear panel and locate the mains filter where the cord enters. Ensure all connectors are firmly seated and not burnt.

If still dead: The main control board's power supply is likely faulty and the board will need replacement by a professional.
