All the buttons on the control panel are responsive to touch. The start button will not illuminate or make a sound when touched when trying to start a load.
When I enter it into service mode using the 123 123 123 button sequence it gives a recent error code of F8 E1.
It then goes into the function testing as indicated by the sanitize light being on for 10 seconds.
There are a couple times during the test that the Completed light will come on steady for at least 30 seconds.
After about 10 minutes the Completed light comes on steady for a few seconds followed by a long beep.
At this point, 2 lights remain illuminated on the control panel and there is still a hum coming from the machine -- I'm assuming it's still testing.
By the 24 minute mark after starting the diagnostic cycle, the machine is still in the same state (2 lights on ctrl panel, hum from machine). The guidance I see says it takes approx. 24 minutes to complete the test. It goes into this state well before the 24 minutes but remains this way well past 30 minutes. I'm not sure if it finished the diagnostics early or it's still testing. I haven't seen an end test diagnostic code.
Questions:
1. Is there a signal the machine gives to let you know its finished with the test cycle? How long should I wait?
2. Would F8 E1, the draining/drain pump cause the start button to not be selectable?
3. Would there any other reasons I can't start a wash cycle?
4. If I open the machine during a diagnostic test, does it quit the test or just pause it until the door is closed again?
Note: I'm not sure of the exact age of the machine. It is at least 4 years old but not likely more than 7 years old.
