If the door is closed it will restart itself randomly trying to rerun the last cycle. Keeping the door open is the only way to disable the beast. The cancel button seems to work but then eventually the cycle begins again.

Yes, the Normal Cycle light randomly comes on by itself and the last time we tried to run a cycle the Normal Cycle light was flashing at about a 1 cps rate. It would not complete the cycle but with multiple cancels we eventually got it to drain. Alex

The control panel has to be replaced. In order to provide the right part number I need the color of the control panel. Gene.
