Washer shows E16 and stops; often related to door open signal during cycle.

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the door lock or hinges.

• Step 1 – Check for play in door: Gently lift and push the door when closed. Excessive movement can cause intermittent contact. Tighten hinge screws and ensure the door closes firmly.
• Step 2 – Inspect door catch and strike: Look for wear or deformation on the door catch. Replace if rounded or cracked.
• Step 3 – Secure door lock: Access the door lock behind the front panel. Ensure it is firmly screwed to the cabinet and not moving with vibration.
• Step 4 – Replace lock if intermittent: If E16 occurs only during spin or heavy movement, the internal microswitch may be failing. Replace the door lock assembly.
