Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: note the exact error code or light pattern, then try a full power cycle — unplug for 60 seconds before doing anything else. Once you've ruled that out, 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.
