UNDERSTAND THE POSSIBILITIES
Causes & useful observations
A code identifies a condition. It does not, by itself, confirm which part needs repair.
| Possible cause | What to look for | Safe check / next step |
|---|---|---|
| Lid Left Open | A lid-open reminder differs from LdL, which means the lid cannot lock. | Close the lid normally and check whether the machine has already drained. |
WORK THROUGH THE BASICS
Safe troubleshooting checks
Use the checkboxes to keep track as you read. Stop at any warning or step that does not match your appliance.
An opening longer than ten minutes can reset the cycle and drain the water. Restart if that has happened.
What to noteThe cycle resumes with the lid shut.
Do not add another dose when restarting the already-wetted load.
What to noteThe original detergent is not doubled.
THE DETAILS MATTER
