A flashing tap symbol on your washing machine indicates a water supply issue. Check if the water faucets are fully open and ensure the inlet hose is not kinked or blocked. Also, examine the inlet filter for clogs. If the problem persists, inspect the water pressure in your home, as low pressure can trigger this alert. Resolving these issues usually stops the symbol from flashing. For persistent problems, consult your user manual or contact a professional technician.
