Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible cause |
|---|---|
| Does not operate | The power plug is not inserted in the power outlet. There is a power outage. The Delay Timer has been set. |
| It is wet, even though it is the fi rst time to use it (drain hose, tub, etc.) | There may be moisture or water left in the tub or hoses from the performance test before shipping from the factory. |
| The remaining time increases during operation | The remaining time is adjusted to compensate for the speed of the incoming water. |
| Water is added again during the washing process | Water is added automatically up to the set water level if the water level falls because water is absorbed by the laundry. |
| Wash time is longer than the time that was set manually | If the water pressure is low, the operating time may increase due to a longer water supply time. |
| The washing machine stops during the spin cycle and starts adding water | If the laundry is extremely off balance when the spin cycle starts, the spin cycle stops and the rinse cycle starts to rebalance the laundry. After the load is rebalanced, the spin cycle starts again. |
| During the spin cycle, the tub spins increasingly faster | This is to more effi ciently remove water. |
| Sound of water is heard when the tub moves | That is the sound of water in the Liquid Load Balancer, which is used for balancing when the tub is spinning. |
| The tub does not fi ll up when water is added from a bucket | Turn on the power. When the power is turned on the drain valve closes and you can fi ll the tub with water. |
| The lid does not open | When the lid lock indicator is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. |
| The strength of water fl ow does not change in spite of changing the indicator | It may not change the strength of water flow according to the process and the load amount. It is not abnormal. |
