Printer cycles on/off and displays "improper shut down"

User can not intervene in cycle of on/off, each time it cuts itself on the display reads "improper shut down, do not use power cord or power strip to turn printer off". then without waiting for a response it shuts off and starts the cycle again. I can't find my user manual.

Got the same problem following a message "Printer ink failure" code 0xc19a0035. Instructions say to shut down using button on/off. But printer refused to shutdown. After 30 minutes, I disconnected power cable. Removed cartridges. Reloaded cartridges. Reconnected power cable and got "Improper shutdown" message with continuous cycle. Solution: 1. While the printer is still turned on, unplug all cables and cords at the back of the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord also from the wall outlet...
3. Wait for two minutes.
4. Reconnect power cord to the wall outlet first.
5. Press and hold the pound (#) and six (6) buttons.
6. While holding down the two buttons, reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer and after two seconds, release pound and six buttons.
7. Turn on the printer if it turns off... and it's fixed.

Kitchenaid KDPM604KPS dishwasher stops minutes into cycle

I couldn’t find any error code 2H but I did find an error code H2O. This code means insufficient water pressure. If the display reads 2H, it usually means the start delay function is turned on. The dishwasher will turn on in 2 hours if door is closed. This dishwasher is advanced. To understand all operations you should read the user guide or manual.

Model number KUDS30IVBL0. When in the normal wash cycle the machine will go through the first wash cycle then drains. But the pump keeps running even after all the water has drained from the unit.

if you just let it go will pump shut off by itself after a few more minutes ?? or do you have to intervene as it will go that way all day long ?

Multiple lights are lite when running a cycle....can't run certain cycles (bulky items, whites etc) spin light continuously blinks. have tried unplugging and restarting with no results

I feel you may have a Control Board issue. I would see if the Control Board will let you into Service Mode. If it does I would read the Diag code blocks 1 thru 40. The block only show up when an error event has been logged.

Bottom line I see no easy way out without least swapping out the Control Board for a start point.

You will need the FAV6800A/FAV9800A Service Manual to get started. See page 17 of the SM TO READ THE Diag codes

FAV6800A/FAV9800A Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.

Here is a quick start if the Control Board will let you into Service Mode;
To enter Service Mode press and hold simultaneously the Enviro Plus and Spin Only keys until the machine beeps and the LED display reads 00.

From the Service Manual;

Display Diagnostic Codes
The diagnostic code display can be toggled on and off from Service Mode by pressing the Wrinkle Control key. The display will show a “d”. The diagnostic codes can be viewed by using the Set Delay Time arrow keys. The Set Delay Time down arrow key will cycle down the list one code at time each time it is pushed. The Set Delay Time up arrow key will cycle up the list one code each time it is pushed. The first time the Set Delay Time down arrow key is pushed, the newest code will be displayed. A code generated during or after the current cycle will be displayed with the rightmost dot “.” turned ON. Access Other Features While a diagnostic code is displayed, if the Normal

If you decide to give it a try jot down the code blocks and toss them back to us for review.

Datamax I-4208 Cutter Fault

if the cutter cycles on start up up?
if not, check connector(RJ45) underneath platen assy.
I connected the I class should immediately recognize the cutter.
If it does not cut ever, check you format to see if the cutter is turned on in the driver.
I have seen some failures from wear on the bell crank that cycles the cutter.
