Error Code: PRESOAK Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The presoak option is in progress.
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.
