Possible Causes

Misaligned door latch, Worn or broken door lock assembly, Bent door strike, Loose door switch wiring

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.
