Avanti Door Lock Stuck Closed

Washer-dryer combo door will not open at end of cycle, but no error code is shown.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Door lock mechanism jammed, Control board not sending unlock signal, Water still detected in drum, High internal temperature during dry cycle

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.
