Washer door / lid lock assembly

A lock assembly has a lock actuator (solenoid, motor, or wax/PTC heater) and one or more switches that tell the board it is locked. Check the command from the board, the actuator, the switch and the strike.

Door or lid won't lock / won't unlock

Clear obstructions and check the strike first. Then decide electrical vs mechanical: no click = lock solenoid/motor, wiring or control; click but no latch = mechanical jam or broken strike.

Washer shows a code, stays locked or won't start after a power outage

Outages and surges can leave the control in a confused state mid-cycle. A full power reset clears most cases. If the code returns, read it and diagnose the part it names (lock, pump, valve); if the control is dead or erratic after a surge, the main control may be damaged.
