Universal Washer beeping/alarm sounding
When your Universal washer is beeping or the alarm is sounding, check the display for a fault code first. A code usually identifies the condition causing the washer to beep, so refer to the owner's manual or search the code designation for the proper solution. If the washer started beeping after a power outage, the display may show PO for power outage or PF for power failure. Turn the washer's circuit breaker off for a few minutes, then turn it back on to clear the code. A power surge or temporary control issue can also cause a washing machine to beep, beep randomly, or keep beeping even when no obvious problem is present. Press the indicated button to acknowledge the alarm, then unplug the washer for several minutes before restoring power. If the problem returns after a reset, the main control board, user interface board, or wire harness may need testing or replacement. Enter your washer's model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine, including compatible Universal washer circuit boards, timers, and control components.

03 - Power reset
After a power surge or power outage, washer operation could be temporarily affected, resulting in a beeping or other alarm sound. In most cases you need to press a button to reset the alarm. Also, full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the appliance's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the washer then switching it back on.
