Expected: No unsafe condition or internal service step is required.
If not resolved: Stop using the appliance and arrange qualified service.
Reset and test
A user reset is not documented for this condition.
Important: No model-independent reset is asserted. Follow only the instructions in the exact-model owner manual or cited official support article.
