According to the "Troubleshooting" section, you can quite easily cope with an impossible task for you at first glance. Most of the instructions have a troubleshooting algorithm, according to which the owner can deal with them step by step without involving additional hands. But if this fails and the indicators continue to flash, you don’t know what to do in this situation, we suggest using our tips for your own purposes, which will help you figure out why the indicator in the washing machine started flashing.

There are a number of reasons why the equipment stops working, and its indicators start flashing (burning)

Consider their causes and ways to eliminate them:

1. When you start the washing machine, the indicator is on, but no water comes out. First of all, you need to check the condition of the plumbing, and also make sure that you have opened the water supply valve to the washing machine. When you are convinced that everything is in order, your attention turns to inspecting the filter, it may be clogged and in order for it to begin to let water through, you need to clean it from dirt. Together with the filter, we recommend rinsing the hose itself under high water pressure.

2. Control module failure. Often this happens in washing machines that are “stuffed” with electronics, which eventually disables the module. To fix this problem, turn off the washing machine and after 10 or even 20 minutes try to start it again.

3. You have turned on the washing machine, and the indicator on the display shows that the child lock has been activated. All you need to do is turn it off. This information can be viewed in the instructions for use of the washing machine.

4. You are faced with the fact that the working washing machine “got up” and drains water. You may have selected the No Drain Streak program or the drain hose may be clogged. Make sure that there are no kinks, debris on the drain hose, connection programs are in perfect order.

5. The power cord may be damaged. Visually inspect the condition of the cord. If it is out of order, it needs to be replaced immediately.

6. Often the owners of washing machines are faced with the fact that the unit is not fully loaded or vice versa - overloaded.This problem is easy to fix, you need to evenly distribute things inside the drum, and also add or reduce the amount of laundry load accordingly.

7. If the washing machine is not installed correctly, then the washing machine malfunction indicator will knock out that there is an error in connecting the equipment to the sewer. The best way to eliminate this cause is to contact specialists.

If your efforts were in vain, and you were unable to eliminate the cause of the washing machine problem, and the indicators are still flashing, then your equipment needs repair.
