I can turn the power button on and the start button is blinking. It is on timed dry but the estimated time is blank (3 slashes like —) When I press the start button it beeps once but does not start.
Sounds like a possible door switch issue. Try opening the door and see if you get get a code on the display and a beep and the code 8:88. Update 1/11/16 For others asking similar questions, unplug the machine for 5 minutes to allow it to reset.
I had the same exact problem! There’s a YouTube video on training m resetting the dryer. Unplug for 1 minute. then Open and close dryer door six times in one minute. Actually worked for me!!!
