Screen turns on but doesn't go beyond that - SIEMENS WM16S792NL WAS/DROOG
My washer drier flashes light when I turn the knob to choose a program but it doesn't go anywhere beyond that. Usually this is the light screen that shows up (see attachment) before changing to the program setup but now it is just stuck here.
I tried unplugging it for a couple of hours and it still does the same.
This is the model: SIEMENS WM16S792NL WAS/DROOG

Hi there. Unfortunately this is possibly a fault on the electronics. It could be a problem with the control display PCB, or the main PCB, or possibly a connection fault between the two. I definitely would not recommend speculatively trying to change any of them.
