Is your washer not powering on?

➔ If your washer does not power on, check whether the wall outlet is functioning properly.

You can test the functioning of the outlet by connecting an electric appliance such as a dryer.
If the test appliance does not turn on, check whether the main circuit breaker in the house has tripped, and reset it if necessary.

After removing the power outlet, connect the dryer and check operation.

※ If the test appliance powers on but the washer does not, please request service as a detailed inspection is necessary.

Is your washer connected to a power strip?

Keep in mind that power strips have a limited capacity.
If both the washer and another high-power appliance are connected to the same power strip and used at the same time, they may overload the strip, and cause the circuit breaker to trip.
Power strips that are old or those which have a burnt plug may also cause power interruptions.
It is advised to plug the washer directly into a wall outlet.
If using a power strip is unavoidable, please use one with a high capacity and connect only the washer to it.

Incorrect example: Connected to a multi-outlet. Correct example: Connected to a standalone wall outlet.
