The machine can be intentionally waiting before the main programme begins. That waiting state should be identified from the display rather than interpreted immediately as a motor or water-supply fault.
Understanding this situation
A delay feature also needs responsible planning. Electrical Safety First advises against leaving washing appliances running unattended or while asleep, so a convenient tariff or finishing time does not remove the need to consider safe use.
A useful next step
Check the active delay setting and arrange a programme that can run while someone is available. Use the model's documented cancellation method if the schedule is wrong. Do not repeatedly reset a safe waiting machine without first understanding what its timer represents.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
