CL on most washers (including the Westinghouse machines) indicates that the Child Lock feature is on. This prevents the washer from being turned on accidentally by a child or while you clean the control panel. Usually this feature is toggled on and off by pressing and holding two buttons on the control panel until the lock stat changes. (On a few machines, you only press and hold one button.) The correct button will be indicated in a small font on or below the button. If a pair of buttons are used to toggle the Child Lock, look below the buttons for a line between the pair with a lock symbol and Lock written in a small font.)

I can't find a Westinghouse 708 manual. Most Westinghouse model numbers have several letters before the number followed by additional letters at the end of the model number. I did find some links for troubleshooting a Westinghouse Mastermind LF708C. I couldn't find the manual online.

Based on the child lock feature of a current Westinghouse washer, WWF7025EQWA, I suggest holding the Temp and Spin buttons.

Some Westinghouse appliance manuals are available from Westinghouse: https://www.westinghouse.co.nz/user-manuals/ . Enter the full model number.

I hope this helps. Please post a comment with the full model number for additional information.

SOURCE: LG WM-1285FHD Error Code 'CL'

The "CL" code is not an error! This means "Child Lock"!
To unlock a washing machine you will press and holding within 3-5 sec two button, marked "child lock".
And happy day will come! :))

IE is a water inlet error...meaning that the correct water level was not achieved within 8 minutes or it did not reach preset water level within 25 minutes...

CL is child lock feature which can be toggled on and off by by holding the Pre wash button in for 3 seconds.. Hope that helps...

SOURCE: error on Westinghouse mastermind 708 front loader washing machine

This happend to me once, and it was in relation to a blocked intake filter.

- Check that the intake houses are not cloged and the small filter under neath is clean (Use an old tooth brash)
- Also check the opening on the front bottom left of the machine. (Open with a flat head screw driver)
. My one had coins in it. Note: drain with the small pipe into a backet so when you open it you don't have watter everywere.

SOURCE: CL error message

That means that your washing machines child lock is on. You can find two buttons Temp and Options in the panel. Turn the machine on, press these two buttons together for 3 seconds and thats should be it.

My westinghouse mastermind 708 is flashing SE or 5E? what does this mean please?

most home appliances have many ELECTRONIC components......these components are very sensitive to electrical irregularities that enter your home electrical system......these irregularities can cause some components to freeze up.......pull the plug and leave your westinghouse 708 unplugged for several minutes.......plug it in again and it will reset all of these control components........hope that helps!

I have a Westinghouse mastermind 708 washing machine and it does not spin after wash cycl. i think it might be the pump to pump water out, it still makes a humming noise

I would check the internal coin trap/drain to make sure it is not blocked with socks or 3-in1 dryer sheets. If the water does not drain it backs up and causes error messages and spin problems. These are normally not listed in the manual so you have to take off a panel to find it. Could be at the bottom or in the back. Unscrew and check the trap and remove any blockage. Prepare for a mess if you can't fit a bucket under the trap!
