How to narrow it down
Use the brand, appliance type, and exact code together. A symptom search can point to the right category, but the model number controls the exact manual steps and access points.
Open the matching code page below for aliases, model-family notes, source links, and the safest check order.
Safe first checks
- Cancel the cycle if the controls respond normally.
- Turn off the water supply if filling or leaking continues.
- Check the lower door edge and under-sink hose connections.

- Let visible water dry only after the source is understood.
Stop troubleshooting when
