How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer before attempting manual release.

  • Check for water: If water remains in the tub, run a drain & spin cycle. The door will not unlock with water present.
  • Manual release: Access the manual release tab near the door lock from the bottom/front and pull to open the door.
  • Inspect lock and boot: Once open, inspect the lock and door boot for binding or damage. Replace the door lock if it sticks mechanically.
