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

This is not an error code, but an indicator that the ‘Presoak’ option you selected is currently active.
The washer is soaking the clothes to help loosen heavy soils and stains before the main wash begins.
No action is required. Allow the cycle to complete normally.
If you wish to stop the presoak, press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Stop’ button.
You can then restart the wash by selecting a new cycle without the ‘Presoak’ option and pressing ‘Start’.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

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