Error Code: DR Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The door is not closed.
How to Fix DR Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the washer door completely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Check for any clothing or other items that may be caught in the door seal or latch mechanism, preventing it from closing properly.
- Remove any obstructions you find and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Close the door firmly until you hear a distinct ‘click’ sound, which indicates the latch is engaged.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
- Make sure all doors, lids, and hoses are fully closed and seated correctly.
