Error Code: LDL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Lid will not lock.
How to Fix LDL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the dishwasher door and check for any items, such as utensils or a dishrack, that may be blocking the door from closing completely.
- Inspect the door latch area at the top of the dishwasher tub. Clean away any food debris or residue with a damp cloth.
- Examine the strike plate on the door that engages with the latch. Ensure it is not bent or damaged.
- Close the door firmly and ensure you hear a distinct ‘click’ sound, indicating the latch has engaged.
- As a reset, turn off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Try to start a new cycle. If the door still fails to lock, the latch assembly may need to be inspected by a service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
