2H — Delay-start indicator (2 hours remaining)

2H is a normal status indicator showing about 2 hours remaining in the running cycle (it counts down). It is not a fault. Note: it indicates time remaining, not a programmed delay-start.

How to fix it

  1. To start immediately, press POWER off, then POWER on, select a cycle, and press Start without Delay.
  2. To keep delay but change duration, press the Delay button to cycle through 1–24 hours.
  3. Confirm the door is fully latched and detergent is loaded for the delayed run.

Why it happens
