If your washing machine fails to operate, you may see an information code on the screen. In most cases, it is not a mechanical problem. Check the codes and instructions below and try the suggestions that are given.

Major Information Codes

The first step before you do anything else in order to get the dryer back in operational mode is to unplug the dryer and wait at least 30 seconds before reconnecting it. Sometimes just doing this will help the dryers internal motherboard reset and will begin to function properly.
