Mention whether the problem began after a normal cycle, a power interruption, a cleaning attempt, or a change in use. If there is a display, write the message down before clearing it so the timing and exact wording are not lost.

The goal is to give enough context for scheduling without turning the call into risky do-it-yourself diagnosis.
