Problem: The machine is in a reset state.
How to Fix RES Error (Step-by-Step)
- The ‘RES’ code means the washer is in a reset state, often after a power interruption or a cancelled cycle.

- To clear the ‘RES’ code, you typically need to select a new wash cycle.
- Turn the cycle selector knob to your desired wash cycle.
- Add any options you want, such as temperature or spin speed.
