Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels.

  • Check settings: Ensure delay start and child lock are disabled. Cancel any active program and reselect.
  • Verify door closure: Close the door firmly until you hear a click. Check for items protruding from racks that may prevent full closure.
  • Test door lock: If the display shows door open or does not respond, test the door switch for continuity when closed. Replace the Electrolux door lock assembly if faulty.
  • UI test: If some buttons do not respond, the user interface board may need replacement.
