How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure proper water supply and drainage before suspecting control faults.

  • 1. Check water pressure: Confirm strong flow at nearby taps. Clean inlet filters if needed.
  • 2. Inspect drain system: Clean pump filter and ensure drain hose is not restricted.
  • 3. Rebalance loads: Avoid single heavy items and overloading, which cause extra spin balancing attempts.
  • 4. Descale heater: Run a hot descaling cycle to improve heating efficiency.
