Why it happens
Possible causes

A mechanical condition that keeps the expected operation from completing.
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Record exactly when the code appears and whether it follows power-up, filling, heating, motion, draining, or shutdown.
Do not remove internal panels simply to clear the display; a repeat fault should be diagnosed in its circuit.
Use one normal restart only if the appliance is safe to energize.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
