The Daewoo Group used to be among the world’s most known conglomerates. It consisted of about 20 divisions. Although the company went bankrupt in 1999, some of its divisions survive today as independent companies.
Want to know whether your Daewoo washer issue is serious enough to hire a service engineer? Looking for reliable DIY repair instructions? Here, you will find the answers you’re looking for. Whatever problem the washing machine is experiencing (problems with the water supply, incorrect drain hose installation, door not locking etc.), it typically displays an error code that shows you the type of problem. To decipher it, refer to the list of Daewoo error codes below.
