Plain language
What this code means
A flashing NORMAL WASH light means the program is taking too long or not advancing, and the listed cause is low inlet water temperature.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
