Consult the user manual for the specific error code and troubleshooting steps. You may need to reset the machine by turning it off and on or contact customer service.
How do I use the Outdoor program?

Troubleshooting
The washing machine won't start.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in, and verify that the power outlet is working. Also, ensure the door is closed properly.
The washing machine is not filling with water.
Check if the water tap is turned on fully. Inspect the water inlet hose for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the water pressure is adequate.
The washing machine is leaking water.
Check the water inlet and outlet hoses for leaks. Inspect the door seal for any damage. Check if the detergent drawer is properly inserted.

Make sure the load is balanced. Check if the drain hose is blocked. The machine may also have a safety feature if it detects an unbalanced load, so redistribute the clothes and try again.
