Common Questions
20 totalWhat are the error codes displayed on the WD-1016(0~9)S and what do they mean?
The machine displays several error codes during operation: a water pressure sensing error, a problem of overfilling water, door not closed, water inlet trouble, drainage trouble, unbalanced load, and water temperature trouble. If any of these error codes appear, you should refer to the troubleshooting guide for guidance on resolving the issue. Each fault is detected automatically by the machine's built-in safety functions.
How do I activate and deactivate the Child Lock on the WD-1016(0~9)S?
Child Lock is activated by pressing and holding the Option and Temp buttons simultaneously. To deactivate it, press the Option and Temp buttons simultaneously again. When Child Lock is set, all buttons are inoperable except the power button, and the Child Lock symbol is shown on the display. Child Lock is automatically canceled when operational errors occur and also works when the power is off.
How do I remove the transit bolts before using the washing machine for the first time?
Before operating the washer, you must remove the 4 transit bolts that were installed to prevent internal damage during transport. Unscrew the 4 bolts with the supplied spanner, then remove them along with the rubber bungs by slightly twisting the bung. Close the holes with the caps supplied and keep the bolts and spanner for future use, as they must be refitted whenever the appliance is transported. Failure to remove them may cause heavy vibration, noise, and malfunction.
What should I do if the washing machine is not draining or drains slowly?
If the washer is not draining or drains slowly, check whether the drain hose is kinked or clogged and clean and straighten it if necessary. You should also check and clean the drain filter, which collects threads and small objects left in the laundry. Ensure the drain hose is not placed higher than 100 cm above the floor, as improper positioning can also affect drainage.
How do I clean the drain pump filter on the WD-1016(0~9)S?
To clean the drain pump filter, open the lower cover cap using a coin, turn the drain plug to pull out the hose, then unplug the drain plug to allow water to flow out into a vessel. Once water stops flowing, turn the pump filter open to the left, remove any foreign material, then turn the pump filter clockwise, reinsert the drain plug, and close the lower cover cap. Be careful when draining if the water is hot — allow the water to cool before cleaning.
What is the water supply pressure requirement for the WD-1016(0~9)S?
The water supply pressure must be between 30 kPa and 1000 kPa (0.3–10 kgf/cm²). If the water supply pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a decompression device should be installed. You should also periodically check the condition of the hoses and replace them if necessary, ensuring there are no kinks or crushing.

Dispenser drawer After a while detergents and fabric softeners leave a deposit in the drawer. ? It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of running water. ? If necessary it can be removed completely from the machine by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. ? To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the fabric softener compartment can be removed. The drawer recess Detergent can also accumulate inside the recess which should be cleaned occasionally with an old toothbrush. ? Once you have finished cleaning, replace the drawer and run a rinse cycle without laundry. The washing drum ? If you live in a hard water area, limescale may continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen and thus not easily removed. Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these may have to be replaced. ? Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum. ? The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time. ? If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use. Descaler may contain chemicals that may damage part of your washing machine. Remove any spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent. Never use steel wool. max max
