Maintenance and Cleaning
Water Inlet Filters
Filters to avoid dirt and foreign substances in the water from penetrating into the machine are available both on the side of faucet and on the ends of water valves along the water inlet hose of your machine. If your machine cannot intake sufficient amount of water despite water faucet being open, these filters should be cleaned.
(It is recommended that you clean your pump filter once in 2 months.)
- Detach the water inlet hoses.
- Remove the filters on water inlet valves using pliers and then clean it with a brush in water.
- Disassemble the filters on the side of faucet side of water inlet hoses manually and clean it.
- Having the filters cleaned, you can fit them in the same way reversely.
Pump Filter
A filter system which avoids threads remaining from your laundries and tiny materials from entering into the pump during water discharging operation carried out by your machine after completing washing so prolonging the life cycle of your pump is available. It is recommended that you clean your pump filter once in 2 months. To clean pump filter:
- To open the pump cover, you can use the powder detergent spade or liquid detergent level plate coming out of your machine.
- Fit the end point of the plastic part to the gap of the pump cover and push it back. This will open the cover.
- Before opening the filter cover, settle a vessel in front of the filter cover to prevent the water remained in the machine from flowing on the ground.
- Loosen the filter cover in counter-clockwise and then empty water.
Troubleshooting
| Fault | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Your machine does not start. | It is not plugged. Plug it. |
| Fuse blown. Replace the fuses. | |
| Electricity cut-off. Check mains power. | |
| Start/pause button not pressed. Press on Start/ Pause button. | |
| Programme dial ‘stop’ position. Switch the programme button to the desired position. | |
| The machine door is not completely closed. Close the machine door. | |
| Your machine does not intake water. | Water tap is turned off. Turn your faucet on. |
| Water inlet hose may be twisted. Check water inlet hose and untwist. | |
| Water inlet hose clogged. Clean water inlet hose filters. | |
| Valve inlet filter clogged. Clean the valve inlet filters. | |
| The machine door is not completely closed. Close the machine door. | |
| Your machine does not discharge water. | Discharging hose clogged or twisted. Check the discharg- ing hose, then either clean or untwist. |
| Pump filter clogged. Clean the pump filter. | |
| Laundry settled in the machine unevenly. Spread your laundries in the machine properly and homogeneously. | |
| Your machine vibrates. | The feet of your machine have not been adjusted. Adjust the feet on your machine. |
| Safety stays fitted for transportation not disassembled. Disassemble the safety stays of your machine. | |
| Less amount of laundry in the appliance. This will not block operation of your machine. | |
| Your machine is overloaded with laundry or laundry settled unevenly. Do not put in laundry more than the amount recom- mended and settle the laundry in the machine evenly. | |
| Your machine rests on a hard surface. Prevent your ma- chine from resting on hard surfaces. | |
| Excessive foam is formed in the detergent drawer. | Excessive amount of detergent used. Press on Start/Pause button. To eliminate foam formation, mix a spoon of softener with half litres of water, and pour the mixture in the detergent drawer. After 5-10 minutes, press on Start/ Pause button again. In your next washing operation, Adjust the detergent dose accordingly. |
| Wrong detergent used. Use detergents produced only for automatic washing machines in your machine. | |
| Unsatisfactory washing result. | The contamination degree of your laundries does not match the programme you have chosen. Select the programme appropriate for the contamination degree of your laundries. |
| Amount of detergent used insufficient. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the amount and contamination degree of your laundries. | |
| Laundries in excess of maximum capacity put in your machine. Load your machine with laundries, amount of which will not exceed maximum laundry capacity. | |
| Unsatisfactory washing result. | Water being hard. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the instruction of detergent manufacturer. |
| Laundries distributed in your machine nonhomogenously. Spread your laundry in the machine evenly. | |
| As soon as the machine is loaded with water, water discharges. | The end of water discharging hose is too low for the machine. Set the water discharging hose on appropriate height. |
| No water appears in the drum during washing. | No fault. Water is in the unseen part of the drum. |
| Laundries have detergent residues on them. | Non-dissolving particles of some detergents may stick to your laundries as white spots. Perform an extra rinsing by setting your machine to “Rinsing” programme, or clean the spots using a brush after your laundries dry. |
| Grey spots appear on the laundries. | The reason for such spots may be oil, cream or ointment. Apply the maximum amount of detergent instructed by the detergent manufacturer in the next washing operation. |
| Spinning operation is not performed or runs late. | No fault. Unbalanced load control system has been activated. Unbalanced load control system will try to spread your laundries homogeneously. Wringling operation will begin after your laundry is spread. Place the laundry in the machine in a balanced fashion the next time. |

I got an error code 5D, it kept blinking for about 4 minutes the washer wouldn`t start, at the end of blinking the washer started what happen, what did that code mean.
I’ve white Westinghouse washing machine ww14106S front load, the dashboard shows End message, and cannot start any program.
did it got solution?
E10 error message what does that mean
I have a Westinghouse toploader WWT1254LCWA which keeps coming up with error ECO and I cannot find anything to help.
Me too, has anything been found?
I have White-Westinghouse WLCF10FGZWT error ‘E03’
How To solve it?
Why it is happened?
Thanks
Hi Serg, thanks for asking,
The pump is faulty or pump filter is clogged or electrical connection of the pump is faulty. Clean the pump filter. If the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service.
