Possible Causes
Door lock mechanism jammed, Control board not sending unlock signal, Water still detected in drum, High internal temperature during dry cycle
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the door open. Unplug the unit before attempting manual release.
- Wait for cool-down: After a dry cycle, allow several minutes for the lock to release as the temperature drops.
- Check for water: If water remains in the drum, run a drain/spin cycle to remove it; the lock may stay engaged while water is present.
- Manual release: Use the manual door release (if provided) behind the pump access panel or front panel.
- Inspect lock: If the problem recurs, replace the door lock assembly.
