The official manual provides a chart of error codes. Here are the most common for the Toshiba AWJ800AM:
| Code | Meaning | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | E-1 | Drainage issue (clogged pump or kinked hose) | Clean drain filter. Check hose is not bent. | | E-2 | Lid open during spin cycle | Close lid tightly. If error persists, lid switch is faulty. | | E-3 | Water supply timeout (no fill after 10 mins) | Check tap is on. Clean inlet hose mesh filter. | | E-4 | Unbalanced load | Open lid, redistribute clothes manually. Remove heavy items (like jeans) from light items (like shirts). | | E-5 | Over suds (too much detergent) | Run a Rinse only cycle. Reduce detergent next time. | | E-7 | Motor error (overheating) | Turn off for 30 minutes to let motor cool. Reduce load size. |
Note: If you see a flashing light sequence without a digital display (on older models), the manual includes a legend. For example: "Wash LED flashes 3 times = E-3."
Your clothes might smell musty even after washing. The culprit? The lint filter inside the agitator.
Step-by-step (from the manual):
Pro tip: Set a calendar reminder. A clogged filter reduces water flow, extends cycle times, and leads to error code E3 (drain issue).
Before even plugging in the machine, the user manual highlights critical safety instructions.
The “Soak” button seems self-explanatory, but using it wrong wastes water and time.
