What does DOOR LOCKED light on mean?

When the DOOR LOCKED indicator light is on, the porthole door is locked as a safety measure and cannot be opened. This ensures safety during operation, especially when water is present or the machine is spinning.

Common Causes

  • A wash cycle is currently in progress.
  • The machine has recently finished a cycle but has not yet unlocked the door.
  • The machine is still detecting conditions that require the door to remain locked.
