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: Unplug the washer. Ensure the drum is not full of hot water before forcing the door.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Wait cooling period: Allow 2–5 minutes after cycle end for the lock to release, especially after hot washes.
  • Manual release: Use the manual release mechanism near the pump filter to open the door.
  • Inspect latch and lock: Once open, check for broken plastic in the latch or lock. Replace the door lock assembly if it fails intermittently.
  • Control issue: If the lock remains energized even when unplugged, the lock is mechanically jammed and must be replaced.
