my coffee machine is not working,,, the water ligh is blinking green n not doing anything.. anyone can help with this?

The hot water goes into the machine at a slower rate than the cold water does. Open the hot spigot (water valve) behind the washing machine all the way open, then open the cold spigot just enough to get the desired 'warm' temperature of the water going into the machine while the machine is filling. You may have to shut the door to allow water to flow. Remember that it takes a minute or so for hot water to reach the machine from hot water tank.

Betty, this is problematic of all front loading washers. I have some helpful suggestions, which have helped us with our own front loading washer.

First, whenever you're done doing a load of laundry, don't close the door all the way shut. Leave it open a couple of inches for a day to let it air dry out, which will prevent the nasty smelling odor you're getting.

I also take a small rag/washcloth to wipe out the door seal/gasket after we're done washing, that way, there's less water to contribute to foul odors, etc.

The other thing we discovered is to make our last load of wash the hot water wash, whenever we're doing whites, or the stain cycle. This helps get rid of any gunk that might hang around between wash days.

Now we don't always have a hot water wash everytime we do laundry, but by just wiping out the gasket and leaving the door open, we eliminated the odor issues completely.

Frankly, the gasket shouldn't have to be wiped out when you're done washing, but that's a design issue that we've overcome with a simple washcloth. So just do these simple steps and you'll save yourself some frustration.

We really like how clean our laundry gets with the front load washer and how little water is needed to do a load, so we've decided it's worth taking the time to wipe the gasket once we're done for the day, and to leave the door open to prevent any nasty odors.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

I also had this problem - the machine was full of water and it flashed up F18. I had to drain the water out of the machine using the small pipe located next to the drain filter. There was loads of water to drain out. I used my oven roasting tray which was perfect for the job. Then I undid the screwcap filter. There was a lot of really black water that came out, along with about two pounds worth of coins and some hairgrips. Now my machine works perfectly !

A heavy film can be the product of bad water conditions, bad cleaning action from the machine, incorrect/inadequate chemistry, and even water temps being too low.
Start by washing some of the dishes by hand to determine if the film can be removed. Use a quality detergent and some elbow grease. If film can be removed, test the machine for proper washing action. I like to do this by coating the inside of several glasses with mayonaise and placing them strategically throughout the machine. Run a cycle and ensure ALL mayonaise is removed. Is mayo removed? If no, check for plugged wash arm jets or screens. If yes, check for good water temps. 120F or higher is best, depending on machine type/model.
If machine is good and film is removed by hand, then you either have a water problem (water hardness, TDS, etc), a temp issue (raise temps above 120F), or a procedural issue (improper loading of wares, inadequate/insufficient detergent, too much food soil entering dishmachine).
Hope this helps,
Kermit

the heater in the unit is supposed to heat both the wash water and the rinse water.
if it is not, then you have a problem in a controller or an element.
how are you determining the temperature and are you waiting for the unit to signal ready before you test it?
