Possible Causes

Stuck door lock mechanism, failed door lock solenoid, control board not sending unlock signal, mechanical obstruction in latch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Ensure drum is not full of hot water before forcing door.

Free the door:

  • Manual release: Many Bauknecht models have a manual door release near the pump filter behind the lower flap. Pull the emergency release tab to open the door.
  • Inspect latch: Check for clothing caught in the door seal or latch area and remove it.
  • Door lock check: As in F06, access the door lock and inspect for mechanical damage or burning.

Replace lock: If the lock does not release even when de-energized, replace the door lock assembly.
