Possible Causes

Momentary power loss, faulty door lock not sending unlock signal, control board freeze, blocked drain preventing cycle completion

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: If water is visible, do not force the door open.

Steps:

  • Power reset: Turn off and unplug for 10 minutes, then reconnect and try to start a drain or spin cycle.
  • Manual drain: Use the emergency drain hose or pump filter to drain water into a tray.
  • Door lock: After draining, the door should unlock. If not, access the door lock from the front and manually release the latch (technician procedure).
  • Investigate cause: Check for drain blockages, door lock issues, or control board errors as described in related entries.

Note: Frequent mid-cycle stops may indicate an underlying control or power issue that needs professional diagnosis.
