Error Code: DEMO Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The washing machine is in demonstration mode and will not operate a wash cycle.
How to Fix DEMO Error (Step-by-Step)
- Make sure the washing machine is powered on and the control panel is lit.
- Press and hold the ‘Temp’ and ‘Spin’ buttons at the same time.
- Continue to hold both buttons for approximately 5 to 10 seconds.
- The machine will beep or the display will change, indicating that it has exited the demonstration mode.
- Release the buttons and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Turn the cycle selector knob to a normal wash setting and press ‘Start’ to confirm that the machine begins to fill with water.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Still Not Working?
