Minor
Usually easy to fix - may resolve on its own
Also displayed as: No display (silent)
What This Means
The touch button is out of order; The Sub PBA or touch button PBA is not properly connected; The Auto Door Open actuator is defective; The door sensor is defective
What actually causes this:
The mechanism that pops the door open for drying is stuck or the sensor can't tell the door opened
