How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect the washer from power before inspecting the cord or internal wiring.

Check outlet: Plug another appliance into the same socket to confirm stable power. Avoid using multi-way adapters or long extension leads.
Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks in the Gorenje washer's power cord. Replace if damaged.
Internal check (advanced): Remove the top cover and verify that the mains filter and connections to the control board are secure.
Monitor voltage: If your area has known voltage fluctuations, consider using a voltage stabilizer.

If F18 recurs with good supply and cord, the control board power section may be faulty and requires professional repair.

Washer shows F18, often associated with mains power or voltage issues.
