Washing machine: GE GTW490
One day heard a washing machine trying to drain when it was inactive. Unplugged it and plugged it back in, still tried to drain on start up. Now every time it starts it tries to drain itself
There are no visible water in the machine. It's a top loading one. I've checked the drain pump and it seems to work when plugged in. No water is in the hose or pump.
Took it apart and can't see any mechanical problems. Won't enter the diagnostic mode as the manual states. All LEDs should blink but only the first left one does. Pressing start does nothing (should display an error code on LEDs)
Update: got it to enter a diagnosis mode (wait for machine to initialize and then hold the button). Gave a binary error code: …*.. or 4 "UI software version non-critical

Figured it out eventually. There is a debugging menu. I ran the drain pump test cycle and then cleared error codes. Rebooted and worked fine
