Possible Causes

Door lock still energized due to hot water, Faulty door interlock, Control board not sending unlock signal, Mechanical jam in latch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off and unplug the appliance. Do not force the door open.

  • Wait and cool: Allow 5–10 minutes for the lock to cool and release, especially after high-temperature or drying cycles.
  • Check water level: If water is visible in the drum, run a drain-only program. The door will not open if the machine senses water inside.
  • Use emergency release: Access the manual door release near the pump filter (if fitted) and pull gently.
  • Inspect lock (advanced): If the problem recurs, replace the door lock assembly.

Warning: Forcing the door can break hinges and glass. Always use the emergency release or professional help.
