Washer shows F34, door will not unlock at end of cycle

Safety first: Disconnect power before attempting manual door release.

• Wait for delay: Many Bauknecht models have a 1–2 minute delay before unlocking. Wait this time and listen for a click.
• Manual release: Access the emergency door release (often a pull cord or lever near the pump filter behind the lower front panel). Pull gently to unlock the door.
• Inspect lock: Once open, check the door lock assembly for mechanical damage or overheating. Replace if suspect.

If F34 continues: Replace the door lock assembly and check wiring. If unresolved, the control board may be at fault.
