New Whirlpool Duet washing machine, only 2 months old, suddenly has flashing start/pause light at end of cycle. Never done that before. Otherwise seems to be working perfectly. No clues in owners manual.
Is this a good question?

It's under warranty.
UPDATE 2/7/16
First notice the sequence of the flashes. The wash stars light will flash on for .5 seconds, then off for .5 seconds, followed by a pause of 2 seconds and repeat. Count the number of flashes before the pause to determine your first error code (F code). You will then see a pause of 2 seconds, then start counting again to your second code (E code).
Once you have gone through the sequence, you can determine your Error Code.
Then ask a new question as people seldom look at questions with accepted answers.

I have had two whirlpool washers since March of this year and both have done the same thing. There is no sequence to the flashes - it just flashes consistently at the end of a cycle. Our first washer purchased in March started with the flashing and then tons of other problems started happening. Whirlpool finally offered us a replacement model that was slightly different since our original model was discontinued. I have had the new model for 3 weeks, and it has started the flashing as well at the end of a cycle. Whirlpool cannot explain the flashing...I am at a loss and am worried this new machine is headed into the abyss like my last one.
Mine is doing the same thing. Did you guys ever figure out what was wrong? It don’t do it for every cycle just some. My only guess is what it become out of balance during the spin cycle so it stoped but otherwise the washing is done. I’m just guessing that’s what it means because the clothes are clean and nothing seams wrong otherwise.
