What does Door Locked Indicator lit mean?

This symbol illuminates when the Washing Machine door is locked for safety reasons, typically during a wash cycle or its preparation/post-cycle phase. It prevents the door from being opened while the machine is operating.

Common Causes

  • A wash cycle is active
  • The machine is in a preparatory phase before a cycle starts
  • The cycle has just ended and the door lock is still engaged
