Troubleshooting
Machine won't start or power on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the child lock is not activated. Press the Power button firmly.
Clothes are not clean after a cycle.
Ensure you are not overloading the machine, as this can impede washing effectiveness. Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size and soil level. Select an appropriate wash program for the fabric type and soil level (e.g., `Hygiene Guard` for heavily soiled items).
Excessive vibration or noise during spinning.
Check if the machine is level; adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Ensure the transit bolts (shipping bolts) have been completely removed from the back of the machine. Make sure the load is balanced in the drum; redistribute items if they are bunched up.
Water not draining.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the drain pump filter, typically located at the bottom front of the machine, as it may be clogged with lint or foreign objects. Ensure the drain hose is not positioned too high.
ConnectLife app not connecting to the machine.
Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is stable and operating on a 2.4 GHz frequency. Make sure the washing machine's Wi-Fi function is enabled. Restart your router and try pairing again. Confirm your smartphone is also connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
