Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before checking electrical connections.
Steps to check and address E29:
- Check household supply: Confirm that other appliances and lights are not dimming; if they are, contact an electrician to check supply voltage.
- Verify water pressure: Ensure taps are fully open and that water flow is strong.
- Inspect inlet valve wiring: Remove the top cover and check that the inlet valve connector is secure.
- Test inlet valve coil: Measure resistance; replace the valve if the coil is open or out of spec.
When to call a technician: Persistent E29 with good water and voltage may indicate a control board issue requiring professional service.
