A note on safety
Most error codes are cleared with simple checks: water taps, hoses, filters, load balance, and a power reset. Never open an appliance's panels or touch electrical parts yourself. When in doubt, call a qualified technician — a wrong DIY repair can be dangerous and may void your warranty.
