Hello all!
I've this 1999 or 2000 (not sure, the model/serial tag is missing) KM Elite Catalyst washer since January of this year. So far it's been a good machine and I've been very pleased with it. It's had this "occasional" bug which I've always been able to work around until now.
I say it's haunted because now any time I plug it in, it lights up as if I've got my finger on the "regular" cycle button. If I push "Stop/Cancel" all the lights will go out as long as I hold it, but as soon as I let go, it lights up again as if the "ghost" is holding the button.
I can press ANY other button, cycle, water level or temp, any of them and it will change as long as I hold it, but the second I let go, it reverts back to the default "Regular" cycle.
Also if I press "Start" and try to start the machine, I just get an "F3" error code flashing on the display.
I'm only into the machine $50 so... #1. I don't know I want to put a lot into it and... #2. I really don't want to just "throw it away" either. But if I can't get it fixed at a reasonable cost, I don't know what else I could do.
HELP!
Do any of you have any suggestions or ideas on what to do?
Thank you in advance!
Kevin
