Might not hurt to do the first level of resetting the machine, too. It's service code 110 if I remember correctly (don't have manuals right now, sorry), or you can do pretty much the same thing by holding down the "Reset" key while turning the machine on, and holding the key down until the initializing motor sounds get quieter.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes, please.
