Possible Causes

    • Door latch mechanism is misaligned or damaged • Door lock assembly has failed due to wear or defect • Magnetic door sensor is not detecting the closed door position • Electrical connection to the door lock solenoid is loose or corroded • Door strike or catch is bent or obstructed by lint or debris • Control board is not receiving proper signal from the door lock circuit • Excessive load or uneven weight distribution is preventing door from closing fully • Wiring harness connected to door lock assembly has become disconnected
✅

Safety Checks You Can Do

    • Turn off the washer and unplug it from the electrical outlet, or switch off the appropriate circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power to allow the appliance to reset • Open the washer door fully and visually inspect the door latch and strike area for any visible debris, lint, or obstructions; gently clean these areas with a dry cloth • Close the door slowly and firmly, listening for a clear clicking sound that indicates the latch has engaged properly • Check that nothing is preventing the door from closing completely, such as clothing bunched in the seal or foreign objects in the door frame • Verify that the washer is not overloaded, as excessive load weight can prevent the door from closing and triggering the E5 error • Examine the rubber door gasket for signs of damage, tears, or excessive lint buildup that could prevent an airtight seal • Press and hold the door lock button or control panel button designated for door locking, if available on your model, to test the lock mechanism • Ensure the washer is on a level, stable surface and not tilted, as an unlevel washer can cause door alignment issues • Consult your Asko washer user manual to confirm the exact location of the door lock assembly and any model-specific reset procedures for your USA model • If the error persists after these checks, call 844-731-2978
