Possible Causes

Closed or low-pressure water supply, Clogged inlet filters at water valves, Defective water inlet valve coil, Faulty water level/pressure switch feedback

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and close the water taps before disconnecting hoses.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check water supply: Verify taps are fully open. Disconnect hoses and check for strong flow into a bucket.
  • Clean inlet filters: Remove mesh filters from the washer's inlet ports and rinse under water.
  • Test inlet valves: Measure coil resistance with a multimeter. Replace the valve if coils are open.
  • Check pressure switch hose: Ensure the thin hose to the pressure switch is not kinked or blocked. Blow through it to clear residue.

Restore water and power. If D04 persists, the pressure switch or PCB may need replacement.
