The controls are locked to prevent accidental starts. Press and hold the Lock button (usually labeled with a key icon) for 3 seconds to deactivate.

Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check for laundry caught in the door seal. If the door is closed but the code remains, the door switch may be faulty.

The sensor bars may be coated in dryer sheet residue. Clean the two metal bars inside the drum with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth and restart.

Indicates a power outage occurred during a cycle or there is low voltage. Reset your circuit breakers. Avoid using extension cords as they cannot handle dryer power loads.

The burner failed to ignite. Ensure your home's gas supply valve is open. If you have other gas appliances work, the dryer's igniter or gas coils may be faulty.

Check if the door was left ajar. Ensure there is enough space for airflow inside. Clean the condenser coils at the back or bottom of the unit to allow proper cooling.

The refrigerator is unable to melt ice off the evaporator coils. This often requires a technician to test the defrost heater, thermostat, or control board.

The evaporator fan may be blocked by ice buildup. Manually defrost the unit for 24 hours. If it returns, the fan motor likely needs replacement.

Check if the door is fully closed. Ensure nothing is blocking the sensors on the door hinges or frame. A faulty door switch will prevent the ice dispenser and lights from working.

The internal sensors have detected water in the base. Turn off the water supply and unplug the unit. Check the door seal and spray arms for blockages. May require professional service to dry the base components.

The water is not reaching the correct temperature. Try resetting the cycle. If dishes are cold and wet after a cycle, the heating element or thermistor likely needs replacement by a technician.

Check the float switch in the bottom of the tub to ensure it isn't stuck behind debris. Too many suds from the wrong soap can also trigger this—run a rinse cycle to clear bubbles.

The oven sensor may be faulty or the control board is sensing a temperature it cannot control. Disconnect power immediately. If the oven is hot, let it cool completely before restoring power to reset.

The oven sensor circuit is broken. Check the wiring connections between the sensor and the control board. You may need to replace the oven temperature sensor probe.

Gently wipe the control panel to ensure no grease is causing a stuck "touch." If the issue persists after cleaning, the glass touch assembly or ribbon cable may need service.

The stove cannot "read" the temperature. Check the sensor wiring at the back of the oven for damage. If wiring is intact, the sensor probe itself needs to be tested for resistance or replaced.

Ensure nothing is obstructing the door from closing fully. Check the lock motor and latch switch. This often happens if the door is pulled while a self-clean cycle is active or cooling down.

A button is stuck or "shorted." Clean the control panel surface thoroughly with a soft cloth. If the Stove was recently cleaned with steam or water, moisture may be trapped behind the glass.

Common on induction stoves. It signifies a communication breakdown between the main board and the induction module. Reset the breaker; if it persists, expert diagnostic is required.

Internal temperature has risen above the safe threshold. Ensure the door is fully sealed and check for frost buildup. Avoid adding large amounts of warm food at once.

The door detection switch indicates the freezer is open. Verify the door is closed and the gasket is clean of debris. Re-level the freezer if the door doesn't align correctly.

The fan that circulates cold air is jammed or failing. Listen for humming or growling noises. Clear any ice blocks near the vents that might be obstructing fan movement.
