Front Load Washer - Door Lock

A Front Load Washer will feature a Door Lock that activates when the Washer is in use. The Washer door will automatically lock when the appliance has been started.

Unlocking the Door Lock on a Front Load Washer

• If the Washer is running, press the START/PAUSE button once it will pause the Washer and unlock the door. It will take a few seconds for the door to unlock after pressing PAUSE. Press again to restart the wash cycle.
• In some cycles the Washer will drain first, and then unlock the door when it is paused. The Washer performs automatic system checks after pressing the START button. Water will flow in 45 seconds or less. The door may lock and unlock before water flows; this is normal.
• Do not try to force the door open when locked (LOCKED indicator ON). This could result in damage to the Washer.
