What Does the “E12” Code Mean?
The “E12” error code on Haier washing machines indicates that the machine has failed to empty the water within the expected time frame, usually 4 minutes. This is often due to a blockage in the filter or the drain hose.
Steps to Resolve the “E12” Error
Cleaning the Filter
- Turn off the washer: Before performing any maintenance, make sure the washing machine is turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet.
- Access the filter: Locate the filter of your Haier washing machine, which is typically found at the bottom right of the machine.
- Clean the filter: Remove the filter by gently turning it and clean it under running water. Clear away any debris or dirt that might be causing the blockage.
Checking the Drain Hose
- Inspect the hose: Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked, twisted, or blocked by any foreign objects.
- Clean the hose: If you find a blockage, remove the hose and clean it out to clear the obstruction.
Resetting the Washer
After cleaning the filter and checking the drain hose, perform a reset of the washer:
- Disconnect the washer: Unplug the washer from the power outlet and wait about 10 minutes.
- Reconnect the washer: Plug the washer back in and turn it on to see if the “E12” error has been resolved.
If the “E12” error continues after these steps, there might be a more complex issue that requires the attention of a specialized technician. In that case, we recommend contacting Haier maintenance personnel for professional assistance.
Remember, keeping the filter clean and regularly checking the drain hose can prevent future errors and ensure the proper functioning of your Haier washing machine.
