To cancel the cycle, press Start/Pause (hold to start).

Wait for the Door Lock to Release:
- It may take a few moments for the door lock to disengage after the cycle is complete.
- Confirm that the door lock light is off. This light indicates that the washer has drained properly.
- If the washer was paused while filling with water, you must wait one minute before the door can be opened.
Emergency Drain Option
If you are still unable to unlock the door, you can manually drain the water from front-load washers using the emergency drain hose. Once the water is drained, the door should unlock.Our guide to cleaning the pump filter includes instructions for draining the emergency drain pipe.
