Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before booking a repair, check whether the error only appears during a specific cycle or setting, which narrows down the fault. When that isn't the fix, a code that returns after a power cycle means an internal sensor or board is reporting a real fault, and clearing codes without fixing the cause just masks it.
