How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer before working around the door lock.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and the latch fully engages the lock.
  • 2. Inspect door lock assembly: Access the lock as described for F22. Look for loose or broken switch components.
  • 3. Test continuity: With the door closed (or lock manually engaged), test continuity across the lock switch terminals per the wiring diagram. Replace the lock if readings are incorrect.
  • 4. Inspect harness: Verify the harness from the lock to the control is intact and firmly connected.

Note: If the lock and wiring are good, the control board may not be reading the input correctly and may need replacement.
