For sale is a panel ready - you will need a panel of your liking to install it. The drain pump works on and off... so we just check the drain and if it doesn't drain we open the door to disrupt the cycle and then we close it again to start it again. It usually fixes the issue and lets the drain work and continue but sometimes it needs several attempts. If you don't do it and it doesn't drain it will sound an alarm and stop the cycle. We have been living with it like this for a few months.
