Possible Causes
Shorted or open door lock solenoid, Damaged wiring between door lock and PCB, Faulty door lock feedback switch, Defective main control board input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer. Do not force the door open with tools; you may damage the seal or glass.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check door lock assembly: Remove the door seal retaining band and pull back the seal. Unscrew and remove the door lock. Inspect for signs of burning or cracking. If the lock smells burnt or rattles internally, replace it.
- Test lock coil: Measure resistance across the lock coil terminals (refer to Grundig specs, often a few kΩ). If open or shorted, replace the door lock assembly.
- Inspect wiring: Follow the harness from the lock to the PCB. Look for broken conductors at the door opening where flexing occurs. Repair any damaged wires and ensure strain relief is intact.
- PCB input: If a known-good lock and wiring are present but E10 persists, the door lock input circuit on the PCB may be faulty. Replace the main control board.
