Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: note the exact error code or light pattern, then try a full power cycle — unplug for 60 seconds before doing anything else. If none of that changes anything, if the code comes back, it's pointing to an internal board or sensor fault, and diagnosing that correctly needs the specific service manual for your model.
