Safety Checks You Can Do

    • Verify the circuit breaker for your washer is in the ON position; if tripped, switch it OFF then back ON • Inspect the washer door to ensure it closes completely and aligns properly with the frame • Open the door fully and visually check for any visible obstructions, lint, or debris around the door latch and rubber gasket • Gently clean the door latch area and surrounding gasket with a damp cloth to remove any buildup • Close the door firmly until you hear it click or lock into place • Verify all control panel settings are correct for your desired wash cycle • Check that the washer is not in pause or hold mode by reviewing the control panel indicators • Confirm the water supply valves behind the washer are fully open (turn counterclockwise if needed) • Power cycle the washer by turning off the breaker for 60 seconds, then turn it back ON to allow the control board to reset • Attempt to start a new wash cycle to see if the error clears after the reset
