Possible Causes

Child lock enabled, Faulty Start/Pause button, UI board communication issue, Door not detected as closed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is needed for initial checks.

  • Check child lock: Look for a key or lock icon on the display. Disable child lock by holding the designated button combination (refer to user manual).
  • Confirm door lock: Ensure the door is fully closed and you hear the lock engage when Start is pressed.
  • Try different programs: Select another cycle to rule out a specific program fault.
  • UI inspection (advanced): If the Start button is unresponsive, the touch panel or button switch may be faulty and the user interface board may need replacement.
