If you encounter issues with your washing machine, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

- Water Not Filling: Verify that the water inlet hose is properly connected and the water faucet is turned on. Check for kinks in the hose.
- Water Not Draining: Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Confirm the drain hose is positioned correctly and not submerged in water, which can cause a siphon effect.
