Possible Causes
Failed Fisher & Paykel door lock assembly, Broken door latch hook, Damaged lock wiring harness, Control board lock driver failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer. Door lock circuits operate at mains voltage.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and the latch hook is not bent or broken.
- Inspect lock: Remove the front door seal clamp and pull back the gasket to access the door lock. Check for cracks or burn marks.
- Test lock: Disconnect the lock connector and test coil resistance with a multimeter. Compare to Fisher & Paykel specs; an open coil indicates failure.
- Replace lock: If faulty, install a new Fisher & Paykel door lock assembly, ensuring the latch aligns correctly.
- Control check: If a new lock does not resolve the error, the main control board may not be sending power to the lock and may require replacement.
