Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the door lock or control board.
- Verify correct lock part: If the lock was recently replaced, confirm that the correct Kenmore part number was installed. Some locks look similar but are wired differently.
- Check wiring orientation: Ensure the harness is plugged into the correct connector on the lock and not reversed or forced.
- Inspect harness: Look for damaged or pinched wires between the lock and control board.
- Replace lock or control: If wiring is correct and F34 persists, replace the door lock assembly. If still unresolved, the main control board may be defective.
