My washing machine stops to beep when a button is pressed. Programs can be selected but the machine won't start.

Try this reset procedure, but it sounds like an alarm situation.

How do I reset my Gorenje washing machine?
Upon start-up or during pause, the button backlight will flash; when the programme is started and in progress, it will be lit continuously. Use this button to turn the washing machine on and off, and to reset the washing programme. lighting Press the positions 7+10 and hold them for 3 seconds.

have you checked the pump filter ?

II might need the actual model number. However, you can go to page 9 on this manual and check if the flashing options can fix the problem. I am assuming you have already tried to turn the power off and back on.

The ohter thing to try is the reset sequence. Within 6-7 secs press High Temp/ Heat Dry/ High Temp/ Heat Dry/ High Temp/ Heat Dry. All lights should light up, press Start button to exit.

sounds like a faulty main computer board

Hi just read your posting.Now to accurately diagnose the problem in your machine I need the model number of the machine,Also when the machine is beeping you mentioned in your posting 3 lights lit up.Starting from the left to right which lights are lit when the machine is beeping,Is it the 2nd,3rd and 8th or the 1st, 4th,and 8th,---etc---?Please reply with this information and I am sure I can help you further.

Press and hold the drying,delay start/temp select buttons altogether for 5 sec untill you hear a beep, then release all 3. press the dely start button to scroll through the available languages then select your chosen language by pressing the drying button once.

Starting with the rotary switch in the off position, turn it one click clockwise, press and hold on the bottom right hand button, turn the rotary switch one more click CW and release the button. The number displayed is the volume for button presses, press the centre right hand button to increase/turn off (0). Turn the rotary switch one more click CW to select end of cycle volume, agjust and set the rotary switch to off to leave set up mode.

Some magic happened today!

I got the thing (wd-12331ad) to dry without having to run a wash first!

Also, I seemed to get it to do a spin only run...

The way to get it to dry :
-----------------------------------
(for a set time - I've not managed to get any of the auto-dry settings to work)
from machine being off:
> press the power button.
> press the "Dry" button 'til "Time" lights up
>>> press "Dry" again to get the desired duration
> press the spin button 'til the spin speed shows blank/ the RPM light goes out.
> press "Start/Pause"

It will then dry for the number of minutes specified!

Not perfect, I know but that's serious progress from where I was before; having to re-run a wash cycle to get it to dry anything...

Something to note:
- The machine worryingly sounds like it's starting to fill with water when you start the "Just Dry" program which scared me at first. BUT it stops after a second or so (I think it's just cleaning out the detergent tray so it doesn't bake any leftover powder)


For "spin only" from machine being off:
-------------------------------------------------------
> press the power button.
> press the spin button
>>> if you press "Start/Pause" now you get a 13 minute 1200 spin cycle
>>> press the spin button again and then "Start/Pause", it seems to drain itself for 1 minute
>>> pressing spin repeatedly, cycles through the spin speeds.


Things I don't know:
----------------------------
- I don't know if you can combine spin and heat.
- I don't know whether the auto-dry programs are available
- I don't know what other programs are available from the "Dry"/"Spin" buttons

...So if anyone does any experimenting, please let us know the results, you never know, we might end up with a half way useful set of instructions! I'm starting to think the machine's not half as bad as it seems when following the manual alone.

Hope that helps.

Pressing the options and select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds worked. For me it happened this way: on the first attempt, with the indicator lights already "timed-out" and off, pressing and holding the options and select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds caused the lights to come back on and flash the "LOC" code again. But holding the options and select buttons together for 5-10 seconds a second time caused the indicator lights to stop flashing, and allowed me to start the cycle.

Jonsey, sounds like you have a keypad issue here. Do this test: press the following keys in this order soak-cycle signal-soak-cycle signal. If done right the display should show dt. Now press start, all the led's will light up. Now test them by pressing each one, you should hear a beep for each one. If some of them are not responding, check the P-11 and P-12 harness on the control board. You can also put this machine in the automatic test mode by pressing the keypads in this order; soak-soil level-soak-soil level. The display will start counting down from 99 to 0 testing different aspects of the machine. Any errors will be shown in the display. Catriver..post back.
