"Clean" light flashes 7 times--does that refer to a trouble code? Thanks-Merry Christmas !!

Reset the control as described in the tech's sheets (located in a pouch behind the bottom panel). If it'll happen again, check the heating element and the high limit thermostat. The model number you posted is incomplete. Happy Holidays! Gene.

Open door, within 3 seconds hit high temp. scrub,energy saver dry, then repeat (if no such buttons press similar ones} Close door and press cancel. Good luck,Merry Christmas.

Took a few minutes to start. On the screen started at 55, went down to 48 (?) then dropped to 2. Finished out the cycle. Afterwards the flashing green light. I could do the sequence all over again.
