How to narrow it
Do not start another cycle. From outside the appliance, note whether the message names a leak, whether water is visible in the base or drip tray, and whether a float-related alert is shown. These observations help separate the listed records but do not locate the leak or confirm a failed part. Keep power and water boundaries in place, match the exact displayed code, and move to qualified service if the alert or water returns.
