Frequently Asked Questions (10)
What do the error codes on the display mean?
The display shows specific error codes to indicate different faults: water pressure sensing error, overfilling problem, door not closed, water inlet trouble, drainage trouble, unbalanced load, water temperature trouble, motor overload, power failure, and dry heater or thermostat trouble. If any of these error letters are displayed, refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 29 for guidance. Some errors require you to call a service centre if they are not resolved. (Page 24)
How do I activate and deactivate the Child Lock feature?
Child Lock is activated by pressing the Rinse+ button and Pre Wash button simultaneously for about three seconds. To deactivate it, press the same two buttons simultaneously again for about three seconds. When Child Lock is set, all buttons are locked except the Power button, and the child lock symbol is shown on the display. (Page 19)
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 fitted to prevent internal damage during transport. Unscrew the 4 bolts using the spanner supplied, then take out the bolts 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 when transporting the machine again. (Page 6)
What should I do if the washing machine will not drain or drains slowly?
Check whether the drain hose is kinked or clogged, and clean and straighten it if necessary. Also check whether the drain filter is clogged and clean it. The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor, as this can cause slow or no draining. (Pages 10, 29)
How do I clean the drain pump filter?
Open the lower cover cap using a coin, then pull out the drain plug hose to allow water to flow into a vessel. Once the water has stopped flowing, turn the pump filter to the left to open it and remove any foreign material. After cleaning, turn the pump filter clockwise to close it, reinsert the drain plug, and close the lower cover cap. Allow water to cool down before cleaning if a hot cycle has just run. (Page 26)

How do I use the Time Delay function?
To set Time Delay, press the Power button, select your desired program using the Program dial, press the Time Delay button to set the desired time, then press Start/Pause. The minimum delay time is 3 hours and the maximum is 19 hours, with each press of the button advancing the delay by one hour. To cancel Time Delay, press the Power button. (Page 22)
What type of detergent should I use and how much?
Use powder detergent only for this front loading washer. For a full load, follow the manufacturer's recommendation; for a part load use three-quarters of the normal amount; and for a minimum load use half the full load amount. Using too much detergent can cause excessive suds, which decreases washing results and may cause heavy load on the motor. (Page 14)
What is the maximum spin speed for the WD(M)-14331(6)ADK model?
The WD(M)-14331(6)ADK model has a maximum spin speed of 1400 rpm, available for Cotton, Rinse+Spin, and Quick 30 programs. The spin speed options range from No Spin, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, and 1400 rpm depending on the program selected. Delicate items are limited to a maximum of 800 rpm. (Pages 5, 18)
What should I do to protect the washing machine if it is stored or moved in freezing temperatures?
Turn off the water supply tap and disconnect hoses, then add 1 gallon (3.8L) of non-toxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze into an empty wash drum, close the door, and run a spin cycle for 1 minute to drain water. Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior, remove the dispenser drawer and dry it, then store the washer upright. To remove the antifreeze after storage, run an empty washer through a complete cycle using detergent with no wash load. (Page 28)
What should I run before washing clothes for the very first time?
Before the first wash, select a Cotton 60°C cycle, add a half load of detergent, and allow the unit to wash without any clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing. (Page 12)
