How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the door latch or removing panels.

Step-by-step checks:

Check door closure: Close the door slowly and feel for a firm click. If the door feels loose or does not pull in tightly, the latch or strike may be misaligned.
Inspect strike: Examine the metal strike on the tub frame. Ensure it is not bent and that mounting screws are tight. Adjust slightly if needed so it engages the latch squarely.
Door gasket: Check the door gasket for bulges or debris that could prevent full closure; clean or reseat as needed.
Latch assembly: Remove the inner door panel to access the latch. Inspect for cracks, broken springs, or loose wiring to the door switch.
Test operation: After adjustments or replacing the latch, restore power and start a cycle to confirm the error is cleared.

Warning: Do not slam the door to force it to start; this can damage the latch and control panel.
