Possible Causes

Stuck door lock mechanism, Broken lock release coil, Control board not sending unlock signal, Swollen door boot pressing on latch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer before attempting to manually release the door lock.

  • Manual release: Many Huebsch front-load models have a manual release tab near the door lock accessible from the bottom or front panel. Pull the tab to open the door.
  • Inspect boot: Check the door boot (gasket) for swelling or misalignment that may bind the door. Re-seat or replace the boot if necessary.
  • Check lock mechanism: Remove the door lock assembly and inspect for broken plastic parts or burnt coils. Replace the lock if damaged.
  • Control output: If the lock is mechanically sound, test for voltage at the lock release coil at the end of a cycle. Lack of voltage indicates a control board fault.
