How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Check for child lock:
- Look for a key or lock symbol on the display.
- Disable child lock according to the Brandt manual (often by holding specific buttons for several seconds).
Inspect control panel:
- Unplug the washer and remove the control panel.
- Check the ribbon cable between UI and PCB; reseat firmly.
- Inspect the Start/Pause button mechanism for sticking or damage.
If the button and wiring are fine but the washer still does not respond, the UI board may need replacement.
