Even if the F04 error has not yet appeared on the indicator of the washing machine, you yourself will notice a problem - after executing the program, a puddle of water forms under the machine. The problem is obvious, and in some cases it can be solved independently. Let's figure out how.
But before starting the repair, it is worth remembering the importance of safety. Water and electric current are a dangerous mixture, so be careful not to enter the pool formed under the machine.
In addition, you need to correctly stop the wash. If the program continues, but the machine does not respond to button presses, disconnect it from the network. By the way, you can turn off the entire apartment using the toggle switch on the panel. In this case, you will be as sure as possible that an electric shock is excluded. Then turn off the tap, which supplies water to the machine. When the wash cycle is interrupted, remove the clothes from the drum. If the laundry is in water, first drain it by opening the drain filter.
Now you can start the diagnosis.
What do you need to inspect yourself?
- The most vulnerable point is the point where the powder dispenser and the valve through which water is supplied connects. First of all, we recommend checking this connection;
- Perhaps water flows out before it gets into the machine. Make sure that the inlet hose is snug;
- A drain hose is another potential problem. Check pipe connection;
- During washing, the hatch door should be tightly fixed, but over time, the seal may become deformed, which also leads to leakage. Carefully inspect the sunroof cuff for damage.
What to repair?
If the home "treatment" did not help, you should call the master. Most often in such cases, it is necessary to replace the seal in the hatch door, powder dispenser, or drain hose.
