The below instructions are a good guide to solving some of the most common problems related to draining or water supply issues, including cleaning filters.At the same time, the below instructions are the most common cases to check the problems. Therefore, if you still have a problem, please contact the customer service center. (Below instructions may apply to some models only.)
Check the basic options of the washing machine
When the washing machine does not work, please check that the door is tightly closed. The washing machine should be plugged in and powered on. Please also make sure the water source valve is completely connected and turned on.
Check the proper connection of the hot- and cold-water hose
There are two types of water hose (hot and cold) located at the back of the washing machine and it needs to be connected to the respective valve. Also, check to see if the hot and cold-water supply hoses are not kinked and both water supply valves are completely open, and the hose filter has no issues inside.
Check the error code on the display panel
- Occasionally, the 4C (4E) error codes might be displayed because of a blockage of the dispenser drawer.
- The most common reason is a problem with the water supply, or a blocked or kinked water supply hose. In this situation, the washing machine will drain for 3 minutes and the power button will be inoperative. In this case, please clean the debris filter and mesh filter.
- However, 4C (4E) errors can also be caused by poor water supply valves, water pressure, poor water hose installation, poor water level sensor, poor air hose, poor connector contact, poor mainboard, etc.
- Therefore, it is recommended to contact the customer's service center if the problem is not resolved after you have done what you can.
