How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the door open with tools; you may break the glass or injure yourself.
Step-by-step checks:
- Wait a few minutes: Many CDA models delay door release until the drum cools and water is fully drained.
- Check for water: If water is visible, run a drain or spin program. If the machine will not drain, clean the pump filter.
- Emergency release: Some models have a manual door release near the pump filter. Consult the user manual and pull the release tab with the machine unplugged.
- Inspect lock and handle: Once open, check the door catch and lock for damage. Replace the door lock assembly or handle if broken.
