Likely Causes
  1. The triac (semiconductor switch) that powers the door lock on the control board has shorted or opened
  2. A power surge or voltage spike damaged the triac circuit
  3. The door lock solenoid drew excessive current causing the triac to fail
  4. Moisture infiltration on the control board caused a short in the triac area
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power to the washer and access the main control board under the top panel
2
Visually inspect the control board for burn marks or discoloration near the door lock triac circuit
3
Test the door lock assembly independently to confirm it is not shorted (drawing excessive current)
4
If the door lock tests normal but the board shows visible damage near the triac, the control board must be replaced
5
After replacing the control board, run a test cycle to verify the door lock engages and disengages properly
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
