Washer will not start; F22 displayed and door will not lock.

Safety First: Unplug the washer before working around the door lock area.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect door strike: Check the plastic strike on the door for cracks or misalignment. The strike must enter the lock fully.
• Check gasket and hinge: Ensure the door is not sagging and that the gasket is not obstructing the lock opening.
• Access door lock: Remove the front gasket clamp near the lock and pull the gasket back. Remove the screws securing the lock and pull it out.
• Test lock: Use a multimeter to test the lock’s solenoids and switches for continuity. Inspect the connector and wiring.

When to replace: Replace the door lock assembly if it fails tests or shows physical damage. If the lock is good but never receives voltage during a start command, the main control may be defective.
