7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Lint Filter
Regularly check and clean the lint filter located inside the washing tub. This helps maintain washing efficiency and prevents lint from redepositing on clothes.
7.2 Tub Cleaning and Air Drying
Utilize the 'Tub Clean' program to periodically clean the inner tub and prevent mold or odor buildup. The 'Tub Air-Dry' program can be used to dry the tub after use, further preventing moisture-related issues.

7.3 General Cleaning

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your KRIB BLING washing machine, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Machine not starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the water tap is turned on. Check if the lid is properly closed and the child lock is not activated.
- Water not draining: Verify that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the drain pump is functioning correctly.
- Leaking water: Check all hose connections (inlet and drain) for tightness. Ensure the rubber seals are correctly installed. If leaks persist, inspect the hoses for damage.
- Excessive shaking/noise: Ensure the machine is on a level surface. The automatic imbalance adjustment system should minimize this, but an extremely uneven load might still cause some movement. Redistribute clothes evenly in the tub.
- Clothes not clean: Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent and selecting an appropriate wash program and water level for the load size and soil level.
