Question 4

In which compartment should detergent and fabric softener be poured in the VALBERG WT 813 A S566C?

Accepted Answer

The VALBERG WT 813 A S566C washing machine is equipped with a removable detergent drawer with 3 distinct compartments:

Compartment I: Pre-wash detergent (to be used only after selecting the pre-wash option)
Compartment II: Detergent for the main wash
Compartment III: Fabric softener

To use the drawer correctly, simply pull the dispenser drawer out completely. Pour the appropriate product into each compartment according to the selected wash type. Important: never exceed the “MAX” line for any product (detergent, additive, or softener) to avoid water overflow.

Practical tips: Detergent should only be added to compartment I if you activate the pre-wash program. For other programs, pour the detergent only into compartment II. If you do not use fabric softener, simply leave compartment III empty.

To keep your machine in good condition, clean the detergent drawer every 3 months. To do this, press button A on the drawer to remove it, then rinse it under water while wiping all compartments with a cloth. This regular maintenance prevents the buildup of residues and ensures the proper functioning of the dispenser.

Question 6

Duration: approximately 12 minutes

Question 7

What does the U01 code displayed at startup of the VALBERG WF 712 C W180C washing machine mean?

Accepted Answer

The U01 code is not an official error code for the VALBERG WF 712 C W180C washing machine according to its manufacturer's manual. The actual error codes for this machine are: F01 (water supply issue), F03 (drainage issue), F13 (door lock), F14 (door unlock), F24 (overflow), F04 to F98 (electronic module), and Unb (imbalance).

If you see a different display at startup that disappears quickly, several explanations are possible:

A transient display at startup: the machine performs a quick electronic initialization before displaying the selected program. A symbol or code may appear for a few seconds and then disappear automatically.
A misreading of the screen: if the code disappears too quickly, it may be misinterpreted. The actual codes always start with the letter F, never U.
An automatic system test: at startup, the control panel checks the proper functioning of its display by showing a test message or code that disappears quickly.

If the machine operates normally (it fills, washes, spins, and drains correctly), this message at startup indicates no problem. You can continue to use it with confidence. Only worry if the program stops abnormally or if the screen displays an error code (F01, F03, F13, F14, F24, or other Fxx) that persists.

If a real error code appears and persists, consult the troubleshooting section of your manual based on the displayed code, or contact VALBERG customer service. Also note if the problem is accompanied by other anomalies (lack of water, leakage, no drainage, program stoppage, unusual noise).
