Possible fault in the drain valve or the drain pump.
You will need to look underside of the washer and check for the voltage to the drain valve/drain pump to confirm the fault. If voltage is present then the valve/pump must be taken out and checked/cleaned or replaced.
If there is not supply to the pump the control unit is not switching and could be defective.

Hi,

You can manually unlock the door on this washer. First you should unplug the washer from the wall outlet and then remove the lower access panel. With the lower access panel removed, and the washer unplugged, reach up to the door lock and feel for a round release ring and pull it down. The door should unlock now.

Thank you !!

there may still be some thing blocking the drain pump from the tub to the pump itself,I have seen a nursing pad block, the inlet hole to a drain pump when the drain pump was clear,and other stuff cloggind the hose that lead to the drain pump.you can use a shop vac and attach it to the end of the drain pump to remove all the water.if the water is coming out slowly the then you have some restrition.once you remove the water the door will unlock.be sure to check the hose that lead from the tub to the pump,this should solve you problem the last thing to replace is the control board but right now i don't think that is you problem.good luck keep me infromed if you have any other questions

The filter on the front side of the washer was clogged. I have two children. So, I found candy wrappers, lip gloss, pennies. After cleaning the filter, it runs fine now.

Sorry, but the door on the washers are not reversible, only the dryer doors are reversible. I'd suggest using a low profile telescopic style dryer vent to allow you to put the washer on the left side without worrying about the dryer vent location. You can get longer dryer power cords if needed, and water supply extention hoses, or just longer hoses if needed. The drain hose is usually long enough to still reach the drain. I have done this many times.

The clock timer might be faulty.Need to Replace it.Since the machine is new, it must be under warranty and can be subjected to replacement.Problems with clock timers is common with any washer.Its better when detected early like in this case.Good luck.Please do post your comments.

isn't it still under warranty because it sounds like a bad overload switch

Ideas in the link, but this is a commercial washing machine. https://www.google.com/search?q=super+general+washing+machine+E53+code ..

We don't have these strange machines in north America. If it is new it is under warranty and needs a claim. It sounds like the main board has failed, or the timer. Not finding that model https://www.google.com/search?q=Super+General+Washing+Machine+SGW10225 ..

Question edited for clarity. E3 is a generic 'Off Balance' code If you receive an E3 Error code, your washer may be unbalanced. This could be caused by the washer being too tightly packed, or clothing not distributed evenly. This will usually occur during the spin cycle. Stop the spin cycle.

F8 is taking too long to fill. Check the filter screens on the rear hoses. The F8 E1 or Lo FL error code means your washer is not detecting the correct amount of incoming water. If the washer has an F8 E1 error or LO FL error, the door may be locked, and the control may be unresponsive. Aug 21, 2023

did you get the 4 rubber washers that go in the hose ends?

The error code E12 on a Super General washing machine indicates a drainage issue. This could be caused by a few different things:

1. Clogged drain hose: The drain hose that carries the water from the washing machine to the drain may be clogged. Check the drain hose to make sure that it is not blocked by debris.
2. Drain pump: The drain pump is responsible for pumping the water out of the washing machine. If the pump is clogged or damaged, it will not be able to pump the water out and the machine will display an E12 error.
3. Drain filter: The drain filter is located in the drain pump and is responsible for trapping debris that may clog the drain hose. Check the drain filter to make sure it's not clogged.
4. Control board: The control board manages the washing machine's functions and if it's faulty it can cause the drain pump to run continuously and display the E12 error.

It's recommended to first check the drain hose, drain pump, and drain filter to see if they are the cause of the issue. If these are all clear, the problem may be with the control board, which will require professional repair. Please be careful when checking the drain pump and filter, as the water may be hot if the machine is in the middle of a cycle.

If the water level in your Super General SGW720N top load automatic washing machine is not stopping and is overflowing, there could be a few possible causes. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

1. Check the water supply hoses: Make sure the water supply hoses are properly connected and there are no visible signs of damage or leaks.
2. Check the water level sensor: The water level sensor is responsible for controlling the water level in the machine. If it is not functioning correctly, it could cause the water level to continue rising. You may need to have the sensor cleaned or replaced by a professional.
3. Check the water inlet valve: The water inlet valve controls the flow of water into the machine. If it is not functioning properly, it could cause the water level to continue rising. You may need to have the valve cleaned or replaced by a professional.
4. Check the control board: If the problem is not with the water supply hoses, water level sensor, or water inlet valve, it is possible that there is an issue with the control board. You may need to have the control board inspected or replaced by a professional.

If you are unable to resolve the problem on your own, it is recommended to contact a qualified service technician or the manufacturer for further assistance. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when attempting to repair or troubleshoot your washing machine to avoid causing further damage or injury.

Question edited for a bit of clarity. This doesn't appear to be a General Electric (GE) machine and looks to be an Arabian machine. We are in North America. This link might work better for you in your county. https://www.google.com/search?q=super+general+automatic+washing+sgw721+e+error+code ..
