Cause

Error codes are designed to help identify specific issues detected by the washing machine's monitoring systems. When the electronic control system detects an abnormal condition, it stops the wash cycle and displays a code to help prevent further problems.

The most common causes are:

• Water supply issues
• Drainage or pump blockages
• Door lock problems
• Motor or drive system faults
• Heating system faults
• Excessive detergent foam
• Water leakage detection
• Power supply irregularities

The displayed code helps narrow down the source of the problem so appropriate troubleshooting steps can be followed.
