What does Blockage detected. See mean?

This message ( Blockage detected. See ) appears after a program has been interrupted. It suggests that the laundry inside the drum is unevenly distributed or has rolled up into a ball, which can hinder proper drying.

Common Causes

  • Laundry is unevenly distributed within the drum.
  • Laundry items have rolled up together, creating a 'blockage' or imbalance.
  • The load size is too large for the current program.
