DL and F Error

[tnherr]

My washer displayed an DL and F error.  I took the lower panel off and reset the button.  However, after fixing that the DL and F error still comes on.  Please advice.  Also, when I switch the washer switch to say, normal or regular wash, the red light blinks.  When I press start, it just clicked and now power.  I need help.

I have also attached a copy of the tech sheet for your washer.
The tech sheet has a lot of troubleshooting information in it that you may find helpful.

I took the lower panel off and reset the button.

What button would that be?

[tnherr]

The knob that you switch to different wash level

[tnherr]

When you switch the knob the lights are normally solid red but it is blinking

[AJ]

Unplug it for a few minutes and then try it again.

Also try running it through the diagnostic mode that is show in the tech sheet.

Will do!
