Washer-dryer combo door will not unlock at the end of the cycle; clothes are trapped inside.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before attempting manual release. Beware of hot water or surfaces.

• Wait a few minutes: Some models delay unlocking for safety. Wait 2–5 minutes after cycle end.
• Check for water: If water is visible in the drum, run a drain/spin cycle. If it will not drain, clean the drain pump filter.
• Manual release: Many GE combos have a manual door lock release accessible through the lower front panel or behind the gasket. Pull the release tab to open the door.
• Replace lock: If the problem recurs, replace the GE door lock assembly.
