Water remaining in the Washing Machine after a power outage

Gorenje · Washing Machines

What does Water in drum after power outage mean?

If a power failure occurs during a wash cycle, the program will be interrupted. While the program typically resumes when power is restored, if water remains in the drum after the outage, you must not open the door before manually draining the water.

Common Causes

  • Power failure occurred mid-cycle
  • Washing program was interrupted before the drainage phase
  • Residual water in the drum due to incomplete cycle
