• Verify your home circuit breaker for the washing machine is in the ON position; if tripped, switch OFF then back ON
• Check both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washing machine are fully open (turn counterclockwise until they stop)
• Inspect both inlet hoses for visible kinks, twists, or pinching; straighten any bent sections
• Disconnect inlet hoses at the back of the machine and visually inspect the screens inside the hose connections for debris or mineral buildup; rinse screens if necessary
• Ensure the washer drain hose is not kinked or blocked, and that it sits properly in the standpipe or sink
• Verify you are not overloading the drum; remove some items if the load appears excessively full
• Confirm the door/lid is fully closed and latched with an audible click before starting a cycle
• Perform a hard reset by switching OFF the circuit breaker serving the washing machine, wait 60 seconds, then switch it back ON
• Run a test cycle on a shorter setting to see if error reoccurs
• Check your home's water pressure by attaching a pressure gauge to an outdoor faucet; normal pressure should be 40-80 PSI
