Washer displays D14 and does not start; often related to door not closing properly on certain Brandt models.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before adjusting hinges or lock.

Check door alignment:

• Close the door slowly and observe if the latch hook lines up with the door lock opening.
• If the door sags, tighten hinge screws or adjust the hinge position if slots are provided.

Inspect door catch and gasket:

• Check the plastic door catch for cracks or wear; replace if loose or broken.
• Inspect the door gasket lip around the opening; ensure it is not folded or warped where it meets the door.

Test closure:

• After adjustments, close the door firmly until you hear a solid click.
• Plug in the washer and start a cycle to confirm D14 is cleared.

If the door still does not lock reliably, replace the door lock assembly and/or door catch.
