What the E36 Error Code Means
The E36 error code indicates a communication failure between internal electronic modules within the washing machine. The control system has detected a breakdown in communication between components and has stopped the programme as a precaution. A power reset is specifically recommended by Hisense as the first remedy.

Power supply interruption
A power surge or cut during the cycle can disrupt module communication and trigger this error.
Safe Checks You Can Try
