How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer-dryer before working on the door area.
- Verify physical closure: Check that the door closes flush with the cabinet and does not spring back. Adjust hinges if necessary.
- Inspect catch: Replace the plastic door catch if it is worn or broken so it fully engages the lock.
- Test door lock switch: Access the AEG door lock and test the switch contacts with a multimeter while manually actuating the lock. Replace the lock if the switch does not change state.
- Check wiring: Ensure the harness from the lock to the control board is not pinched or broken.
