How to fix the E4 code

1. 1

   Step 1: Turn on the tap

   Make sure the tap behind the washer is fully open, then press Start/Pause.

2. 2

   Step 2: Check the water pressure

   Run a nearby faucet. If the pressure is low, wait until it is normal before washing.

3. 3

   Step 3: Clean the inlet screen

   Turn off the tap, unscrew the inlet hose from the washer and rinse the small mesh screen inside the connection. Reattach it and turn the tap back on.
