Causes of locked door:

  • When your washing machine starts operation and has water inside the drum, the door will not open in order to prevent a flood.
  • After the operation has completed but the door is extremely hot, the door will not open in order to prevent injury.
  • When your washing machine has settled with the Child lock function, the door will not open.
  • If the door switch of the front load washing machine is by metal, the door will not open directly after the laundry has completed.
