What This Means
Consumer power conditions abnormal; Operating voltage out of range; Plug receptacle used with long connecting wire causing voltage drop; Main PBA fault (sometimes)
What actually causes this:
The washer is plugged into an extension cord or a weak outlet that can't deliver enough voltage
First Thing to Check
Make sure the washer is plugged directly into a wall outlet — not an extension cord or power strip
