Error Code: END FLASHING Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates that the program has ended, but there may be a drain issue to check if the cycle has not completed properly.
How to Fix END FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)
- Check if the washing machine has completely drained. If water is still visible in the drum, there is a drainage issue.
- Turn the machine off and open the service flap at the bottom front.
- Place a towel down and slowly unscrew the pump filter to drain the remaining water.
- Remove the filter completely and clean it of any lint, hair, or debris.
- Inspect the drain hose for any kinks or blockages that could be restricting water flow.
- Ensure the drain hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe, as this can cause siphoning issues.
- Once everything is clear, re-insert the filter, close the flap, and restart the machine to see if the cycle completes correctly.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
