Causes of error F138 "Waterproof"
Error code F138 is what’s called a “mechanical error.” That means a part in your machine, like a hose or a pump, is defective, which then leads to the error.
“Waterproof” means a sensor has stopped the wash program because water has gotten into the base tray of your machine. This usually happens when there’s a leak inside the washing machine, for example if one of the hoses has been damaged by hairpins, coins, or something similar.
