Safety Checks You Can Do
• Verify the circuit breaker for your washer has not tripped; switch it off and back on if needed
• Ensure the washer door is completely closed with firm pressure until you hear a clicking sound
• Open and close the door several times slowly to ensure the latch mechanism is seating properly
• Inspect around the door gasket and seal for any lint, debris, or foreign objects; gently clean with a damp cloth
• Check that the control panel settings are correct and no buttons are stuck or held down
• Confirm both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open and water pressure is adequate
• Power down the washer completely by switching off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turn it back on to allow the control board to reset
• Attempt to run a new wash cycle after the reset to see if error clears
• If error persists, unplug the washer and wait 5 minutes before plugging back in to perform a full system reset
• Do not attempt to force the door open if it remains locked after powering down
