What SAnl Means

Not an error at all. The owner manual states it plainly: SAnl on the display means the load has been sanitized — the cycle reached and held the temperature the sanitize option requires. The manual files it among the things owners mistake for errors.

Common Causes of SAnl

  • The sanitize option having completed successfully on the cycle that just finished

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Nothing to do. Unload as normal. If you would rather not see the message, check whether the sanitize option is switched on by default in your cycle settings.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • There is no problem behind this message, so there is nothing for a technician to find.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
