Any idea what these mean ?
It's a AEG 7000 series Kombi washer dryer if that's relevant

The first one is rinse hold, but I can't find out what the snowflake one means, unless it's a frost warning? Is the machine in a very cold room / outhouse?

I suppose you've tried turning it off and waiting 10 minutes to turn it back on?

The rinse hold may mean that you need to clean the filter, in which case, get a pot to catch the water and a couple of towels!

The flower is fabric softener. These are symbols based on the programme you've selected

Looks like you have selected it by pressing one of Lower buttons for more than 3 seconds. If you look at the symbols at bottom of the picture. Press again it should go off. My bet is on conditioner too.

Add softener and see if it goes out

The fkower is the permanent soft plus setting - button mentioned on page 19 of your manual and googling suggests it uses extra water in the softener part of your cycle to distribute the softener better, while the other is permanent extra rinse.

Ah, I never use fabric softener. I knew someone more knowledgeable than me would have the answer!

I always use softener and have never seen this sign before ? I do have a toddler though who likes messing with buttons, maybe that's why it's suddenly appeared!
And the water one... I was thinking maybe the filter thing at the bottom of the machine is full, it hadn't been emptied in ages so probably overdue

Yeah, if you don't want those activated, press each of those buttons for 3 seconds and they should deactivate.

I don't have that machine and don't use softener but I found the right manual, after hitting on some for similar machines then googled to find out what the hell. Soft plus meant. 😅
