Washer displays E17, door open error even when door is closed

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting hinges or locks.

• Check door alignment: Close the door and observe gaps around the seal. If the door sags, the hinge screws may be loose. Tighten hinge screws carefully.
• Inspect strike and lock: Ensure the door strike fully enters the lock opening. Replace the strike if cracked or worn.
• Clean latch area: Remove lint and detergent residue from the latch and lock area that might prevent full engagement.

If E17 persists after mechanical adjustments, the door lock assembly likely needs replacement.
