Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, Faulty door lock, Active child lock, Program not properly selected, Start/pause button failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not bypass safety interlocks.

  • 1. Check display icons: Look for a key or lock symbol indicating child lock. Disable it per the user manual (often by holding two buttons for several seconds).
  • 2. Confirm door closure: Close the door firmly until you hear a click. If the door feels loose, inspect the latch and strike.
  • 3. Try another program: Select a simple cycle (e.g., rinse and spin) and press start.

If the door locks do not engage or the start button is unresponsive, the door lock assembly or user interface board may need replacement.
