How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off and unplug the appliance before attempting manual release.

  • Wait delay: Allow 2–3 minutes after cycle end for the lock to release.
  • Check for water: If water is visible in the drum, drain via the pump filter and run a drain/spin cycle.
  • Manual release: Use the emergency door release (usually a pull cord near the pump filter) to open the door.
  • Inspect lock and seal: Once open, check the door seal for obstruction and the lock for mechanical sticking. Replace the door interlock if unreliable.
