All lights flash and wash cycle stops. Machine still works on rinse and spin

1 comments:

When all lights flash and the wash cycle stops on a Hotpoint FDL 9640, it indicates a problem has occurred. This may be due to selecting a function that is incompatible with the wash cycle. The machine may still function during rinse and spin if those parts of the cycle are unaffected. Try switching off the machine, unplugging it for about 1 minute, then restarting it. If the issue continues, refer to troubleshooting steps.
