Power Light Blinking
I washing a load in my wtw8500dw washer. I went to move the clothes to dryer. I noticed the clothes were still soaking wet, so i went to restart the load. That is when I noticed the light about the power button was flashing, and now I can not get the washer to start and the light keeps flashing. Is there any way to solve this issue?
