How to Fix F29 Error (Step-by-Step)

First, check that the water supply faucets connected to the washer are fully turned on.
Inspect the water inlet hoses for any kinks, twists, or blockages that could be restricting water flow.
Turn off the water supply and unscrew the inlet hoses from the back of the washer.
Check the small filter screens inside the water inlet ports on the washer for any debris or sediment and clean them thoroughly.
Reconnect the hoses, turn the water back on, and start a new cycle to see if the issue is resolved.
If the problem persists, the water inlet valve itself may be faulty and require replacement.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
