Possible Causes
Shorted or open door lock coil, Damaged door lock wiring, Faulty door lock sensor contacts, Control board door lock driver failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the door lock or control board.
- Check door operation: Confirm the Insignia washer door closes firmly and latches without excessive force.
- Inspect lock assembly: Remove the front gasket clamp and pull back the boot to access the lock. Check for broken plastic, burnt smell, or loose wiring.
- Test lock coil: With a multimeter, measure resistance across the lock coil terminals. An open or shorted reading indicates a bad lock.
- Replace door lock: Install a new Insignia door lock assembly if the coil or switches are faulty.
- Control board check: If the lock tests good but E30 persists, the control board's lock driver circuit may be defective and require replacement.
