Possible Causes
Door lock mechanism jammed, control board not releasing lock, water still detected in drum, high temperature inside drum
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the door; unplug the washer.
- Wait cooling time: Allow 2–5 minutes after cycle end for the lock to release, especially after hot washes.
- Check for water: If water remains in the drum, run a drain/spin cycle. The door will not unlock if the machine thinks it is full.
- Use emergency release: Access the manual door release near the pump filter and pull gently to open.
If the problem repeats, replace the door lock assembly.
