Yeah, that’s what I figured – but the only way to cancel a program on this model is to hold the start button for 3 secs, and it ignores that, and still runs the startup sequence which ends with the flashing light. My next step was to go look at the main control module and see if there’s any way to do a reset.

Thanks, Dave.

Yup, I’ve tried cleaning out all the water (from the sump at bottom, where the drain pump is) and I’ve also tried it with water in there.
Same thing happens in both cases: the drain pump spins 4 times (you can hear it, it’s like 4 pulses, rather than a continual spin).

There’s water in the water softener unit (I never emptied that) but none in the water inlet assembly (water labyrinth).
The drain pipe is clear all the way from the drain pump to the actual drain.

The unit was off for a good 3 months with no power, so it’s not a case of it being something remembered whilst having power.
I know that these units will attempt to restart a programme when interrupted, even if power is disabled e.g. during a power cut.
But I’m not sure if that happens over a long power outage (i.e. is it stored in a short term memory, or written to memory in the unit that retinas that state even after a long power outage).

What I’m saying is that I’m not sure when I power it on if it is attempting to restart the last programme, or just going through a normal power on check.

Dan.
