How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry when working with electrical connections. Unplug the washer before opening any panels.

  • Step 1 – Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm power is available.
  • Step 2 – Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Step 3 – Check mains filter: Remove the rear or top panel to locate the mains filter where the cord enters the machine. Inspect for burnt components. If the filter is damaged or open circuit, replace it.
  • Step 4 – Control board: If power reaches the PCB but the display remains dead, the board's low-voltage power supply may have failed and the PCB will need replacement.
