Report abuse

I loaded my duet washer, closed the door and the control light is stuck on and it won't start any cycle. Can you help? I did unplug the washer but it won't reset.

Press the end of cycle signal- button for 3 seconds and it is ready to go.

Thanks. Holding the end of cycle alarm for 3 seconds did it. Very frustrating, all I was doing was releveling

Comment by Guest, posted on Feb 02, 2008

"End of cycle" worked great. Thanks!

Tried powering off for 15 minutes, then a complex set of button pushes but this simple remedy worked the best.

Mid cycle my front loader stopped and timer started flashing with (F-28). We unplugged, reset breaker, pressed stop, pause it will not restart. Also door will not open (there is still wet cloth inside). We need help to get the door open to remove wet cloth.
