When motor is operating normally, and idle, the LED blinks at a constant rate of 1 second on and 1 second off. Motor/Control error condition - LED is on for .25 seconds and off for .25 seconds for a specifi ed number of times, during a 6-second period. The 6-second cycle repeats continuously. 1 second on 1 second off---normal .5 sec on .5 sec off--------normal 1 flash--------------------long stop time------replace motor 2 flash--------------------slipping belt--------check belt 3 flash-------------------corrupted software---replace motor 4 flash-------------------mode shift circuit failed-check mode shifter coil 5 flash-------------------not known-----------replace motor 6 flash------------------locked rotor----------make sure system is free 7 flash-----------------lid switch did not open---check lid switch 8 flash-----------------motor overheated------make sure system is free 9 flash----------------brake resistor open------replace motor on 2,4,6,7 & 8 flash errors, if no system error are found replace motor. Critical Errors, #1, #2, & #7, will prevent inverter/motor from operating. To clear errors, disconnect power until an audible clicking sound is heard when the inverter capacitor discharges (approximately 15 seconds). Open and close the lid 5 or more times in any 12-second period within the first 30 seconds of power-up. Errors will not clear if washer is in either agitate or spin mode.
