Safe checks you can make

- Check that the lid or door is fully closed (and locked, on models with a lid/door lock).
- Confirm the water supply taps are fully open and hoses are not kinked or restricted.
- Check that the drain hose is not kinked and the drain/standpipe is clear.
- Confirm the load is not overloaded or unbalanced.
- Switch the washer off at the wall, wait about 60 seconds, then switch back on and retry once.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.
Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, remove covers, or access wiring, the motor, or the control board. Do not bypass the lid/door safety switch. If you notice water pooling near electrical parts, a burning smell, or sparks, switch off power at the wall and call a professional immediately.
