Error Code: E34 / F34 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Door is not locked properly.
How to Fix E34 / F34 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power outlet for complete safety.
- Open the dryer door and locate the door latch assembly on the front panel frame. Remove the screws holding it in place.
- Depending on the model, you may need to remove the dryer’s top panel or carefully pry the front panel open to gain full access to the door lock’s wiring.
- Inspect the wires connected to the door lock switch. Look for any loose connections, frayed wires, or burn marks. Reconnect any loose plugs.
- If wiring appears intact, the lock assembly is likely faulty. Disconnect the wire harness from the old lock assembly.
- Remove the old assembly and install the new door lock (Part #00622324, 00491673, or 10022250), securing it with its mounting screws.
- Reconnect the wire harness to the new lock, reassemble any panels you removed, plug the dryer back in, and start a cycle to confirm the door now locks correctly.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
