Possible Causes

Door not fully shut, Bent door hinge, Damaged door latch hook, Misaligned door lock assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the door area is clear of fingers and objects before closing.

  • Close door firmly: Push the Gorenje washer door until you hear a positive click. Do not slam excessively.
  • Check for obstructions: Inspect the door gasket for clothing or debris trapped between the door and seal.
  • Inspect hinge and latch: Look for sagging door, bent hinge, or worn latch hook. Tighten hinge screws if the door has dropped.
  • Check lock alignment: Verify that the latch hook enters the lock opening centrally. If misaligned, adjust hinge or replace lock.

If F17 persists with a properly closing door, the door lock assembly may be faulty and should be replaced.
