Water supply error: Check for proper water supply, ensure both hoses are attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve, and verify inlet valve screens are not clogged. The manual's first action is: “Unit will drain for 8 minutes while door remains locked. The drain cycle must be allowed to complete, or the error code cannot reset. When complete, touch POWER once to clear the code. Then touch POWER again to restart washer. If code appears again, call service.”
