Door lock mechanism jammed, Control board not sending unlock signal, Residual water detected in drum by pressure switch, High drum temperature after drying
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the door open; you may break the latch or glass.
- Step 1 – Wait and cool: After a drying cycle, the door may remain locked until the drum cools. Wait 5–10 minutes.
- Step 2 – Check for water: If water is visible in the drum, drain via the drain filter and then try opening again.
- Step 3 – Power reset: Turn the machine off, unplug for 5 minutes, then plug back in and try to open.
- Step 4 – Emergency release: Use the manual door release near the drain filter (if fitted) to open the door.
- Step 5 – Inspect door lock: If the problem recurs, replace the door lock assembly as described earlier.
