Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: note the exact error code or light pattern, then try a full power cycle — unplug for 60 seconds before doing anything else. Also, check whether the error only appears during a specific cycle or setting, which narrows down the fault. Should that not clear it, 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.
