Error Code: IA0 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: No spray arm detection; the spray arm cannot rotate properly or there is a faulty sensor.
How to Fix IA0 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the washer door and remove all items from the drum.
- Locate the plastic paddles, known as baffles or spray arms, attached to the inside of the drum.
- Carefully inspect the area around and underneath each baffle for any small articles of clothing, like socks or delicates, that may have become lodged.
- Check for any foreign objects, such as coins or buttons, that could be obstructing the movement of the baffles.
- Gently try to move each baffle by hand to ensure it is not stuck and can move freely as the drum turns.
- Remove any obstructions you find and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Close the door and begin a new cycle to confirm the error is resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
