Washer shows F22, door will not lock at the start of a cycle, or cycle will not begin.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the door lock. Do not slam the door to try to clear the error.

Step-by-step:

• Check door and strike: Inspect the door hinge for sagging and the plastic strike for cracks or missing pieces. Adjust hinge or replace strike as needed.
• Clean gasket area: Remove any detergent buildup or debris around the latch area that could prevent full engagement.
• Access door lock: Remove the front panel or peel back the door gasket and remove the retaining clamp to reach the door lock assembly.
• Inspect wiring: Ensure the harness connector is fully seated and wires are intact.
• Test lock: With the lock removed and power off, test the internal switches and lock coil for continuity per the tech sheet. Replace the lock if readings are out of spec.
• Reinstall carefully: Refit the gasket and clamp securely to prevent leaks.

When to call a technician: If the control is not sending power to the lock or if the door remains locked with clothes inside, professional service is recommended.
