No verified model list is available for this code
A manufacturer code/support source may be available, but no exact supported model has been documented for this record. Do not treat the code as a model-specific diagnosis without checking the manual.
Verify the full model number against the manufacturer manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat does this code mean?
Cold inlet connected to hot tap. The exact model manual determines applicability; a fault code alone does not prove a particular component is defective.
Source scope: Compatibility with specific model numbers has not been established. Always check your exact appliance manual.
The manufacturer lists this code and general meaning; compatibility with your exact model has not been verified. Follow your model manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat can you try?
- 01
Record the exact code and when it appeared
Note every letter and digit, the stage of the cycle and the full model label. Error meanings can vary between models.
What the result means: This prevents applying guidance for a different model or a similar-looking code.
- 02
Check for overheating before any test
Do not force open a hot appliance. If there is steam, smoke, burning smell or a leak, do not run a test cycle or open the heater compartment.
What the result means: Potential overheating means stop and request service.
- 03
Rule out visible user-level obstructions
Look only at accessible vents, doors, filters or exterior hoses mentioned in your manual. Never access wiring, motors or control boards.
What the result means: No visible obstruction means a code does not establish a specific failed part.
- 04
Prepare precise notes for the technician
Provide the code, model number, stage of the program, sounds and any leak. Avoid opening a warranty-covered appliance or authorizing replacements without diagnosis.
What the result means: A technician can test components rather than guessing from the code.
Stop immediately for leaks, smoke, burning smell or electrical danger. For gas leaks, leave the area and call local emergency services.
How do you actually fix this?
Start with safe checks. Some codes have no safe home fix; in that case we explain what the professional repair actually involves.
Practical fixes you can try
- Without moving the machine, check accessible tap labels to confirm that the inlet is connected to the correct cold-water supply. Ask a plumber if unsure.
- Check the model inlet-water temperature specification. Do not run a cold-feed washer connected to hot water.
- Do not swap pressurised hoses by trial and error; any corrected plumbing must be leak-tested.
If it persists, how is it actually repaired?
A plumber confirms hot/cold plumbing and corrects the connection; if the warning persists, a technician checks inlet temperature detection and valve control.
How do you know it is fixed? Inlet temperature must meet the model limit and the code should stay cleared.
Safety and warranty: Warranty terms depend on manufacturer, model and local law. Damage caused by unauthorised disassembly or improper repair may be excluded. Live electrical work, gas, refrigerant circuits and sealed cabinets require qualified professionals; this is not a DIY instruction for those tasks.
Evidence: The manufacturer link above supports the broad code meaning. The repair pathway is a general technical diagnostic explanation, not a confirmed failed-part diagnosis for every model.
