2. 2
   Complete only the user-accessible checks described in the linked official source.

   Photograph the complete Auto-Off light blinks display before changing controls or removing power

   Published check — If Auto-Off light blinks returns after the listed action, do not repeat the same correction indefinitely
10. 10
    Published check — continue with exact-model diagnosis
