What that error code means — and what you can safely check

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Check the tap behind the machine is fully open.
  2. Unscrew the inlet hose at the machine end and clean the mesh filter in the hose nut.
  3. Check the hose is not kinked or crushed.
  4. Reconnect and run a short programme to test.
