Hi there, thanks for helping. I push any of the clean and dry buttons and they will blink 3 times and then go dark. I can use the lock feature no problem and know how to turn the lock off, so it's not that. I also tripped the breaker at the box for 45 minutes and that didn't reset the buttons either. With nothing lit, I even tried to click the start button (normally this will just wash with whatever instructions were on the last wash) and it sounds like the motor makes some noise for five seconds, then a different noise for 2 seconds, then it will stop. I took out the washing arms to get to the first filter and nothing was there. Stuck -

I read this website and others and found the answer to my problem. My 2 year old kept pressing all the buttons. I used this button pattern (Press these buttons in order fairly quickly) High wash/Air Dry/Air Dry/High Wash/ Air Dry/ Air Dry. My washer is working again. Apparently my 2 year old figured out how to run the cycles quickly!

On the blinking lights, through my research I've seen your issue-blinking lights that won't stop. In most cases it's been a button malfunction. There is a depressed button on your panel that is stuck and that's how the board notifies you. I can't be positive but that's what I've read on these sites. The only way to fix that is a new panel board. Hope it helps.

Good for you! Two birds with one stone! Those 5 year olds are persistant, as much as they are cute.
