How to Fix WASH LIGHT ON OR FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)

- The light will turn off once the washing cycle has finished.
- If you need to stop the cycle, press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button.
- Wait for the machine to drain completely before attempting to open the door.
- 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.
