Diagnosis
The reminder light is on a timer, not a sensor. It illuminates after a certain number of cycles (often around 30) to remind you to clean the machine. Running the cleaning cycle doesn’t always automatically turn it off—you usually have to manually reset it.
How to Fix It
To reset the Clean Washer reminder light, make sure the washer is in standby mode (not running a cycle). Press and hold the ‘Clean Washer’ button for 3-5 seconds. You should see the light either flash and then turn off, or just turn off directly. That’s it. The counter is reset and will start counting cycles again.
If That Didn't Work
If holding the button doesn’t work, try a full control board reset. Unplug the machine for 3 minutes, then plug it back in. Immediately try the button-hold reset method again. Sometimes the control just needs a fresh boot.
Heads Up
Even if you reset the light, don’t skip the actual cleaning maintenance. Use a washing machine cleaner or a mix of hot water and bleach (if allows) monthly. On this model, you should also regularly wipe out the detergent dispenser drawer and the rubber gasket around the lid to prevent mildew.
