Possible Causes
Door lock not confirming locked status at spin, Faulty spin enable signal from control, Loose wiring between lock and control, Defective door lock spin contact
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the door lock or control.
- Check door lock operation: Start a cycle and listen for the lock engaging. If it is noisy or intermittent, the lock may be failing.
- Inspect lock contacts: Remove the lock assembly and test the spin enable contact with a multimeter while actuating the latch. Replace the lock if the contact does not close reliably.
- Verify wiring: Ensure the spin interlock wires are not broken or loose at the control board.
- Control board: If the lock and wiring are good, the control may not be reading the spin interlock correctly and may require replacement.
