How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before attempting manual release.
- Wait and listen: Allow 2–3 minutes after cycle end for the lock to release. Listen for the click.
- Check water level: If water is visible in the drum, run a drain-only cycle or manually drain via the pump filter. The door will not unlock with water present.
- Use emergency release: Access the emergency door release (often near the pump filter) and gently pull to open the door.
- Inspect lock: Once open and power is off, access the door lock assembly and check for overheating or deformation. Replace if suspect.
