My washing machine will not work

My washing machine will not work
Posted On: March 25, 2023

Need help! My washing machine won’t work because the door can’t lock and I really don’t want to call a repair company.


Question from user moralquary at Appliances at reddit.com.


Answer:

If your washing machine won't work because the door can't lock, there are a few things you can try before calling a repair company:


Check the Door: Make sure the door is closed properly and latched securely. Sometimes, the door latch can become misaligned, preventing it from locking properly. If the door is misaligned, try adjusting it until it latches properly.


Check the Door Lock: Most washing machines have a door lock that prevents the door from being opened during the wash cycle. If the door lock is faulty, the door may not lock properly. You can check the door lock mechanism for any damage or debris that may be preventing it from working correctly.


Check the Door Switch: The door switch is a safety mechanism that prevents the washer from starting when the door is open. If the door switch is faulty, it may not send the signal to the washer that the door is closed and locked. You can test the door switch with a multimeter to check for continuity and replace it if it's faulty.


Check the Control Board: The control board is responsible for sending power to the door lock mechanism. If the control board is faulty, it may not send the necessary signal to lock the door. You may need to replace the control board if it's faulty.


If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact a repair company for further assistance. However, trying these solutions first can help you save money and potentially fix the issue without the need for a repair technician.
