START/RESET status indicator light flashing
The owner's Error Messages table connects this flashing lamp to a cycle cancelled by START/RESET or power returning after an interruption. Water drains for about ninety seconds, then the lamp stops; after a power interruption the cycle restarts automatically. It is a recovery state, not a numeric fault or a part diagnosis.
