How to Fix ADD GARMENT LIGHT ON Error (Step-by-Step)

Notice that the ‘Add Garment’ light means it is still early enough in the wash cycle to add more items.
Press the ‘Start/Pause’ button one time to pause the washer.
Wait a few moments for the washer door to unlock; you will typically hear a click.
Open the door and add any forgotten items of clothing.
Close the door firmly until it latches and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Press the ‘Start/Pause’ button again to resume the wash cycle.
Be aware that this light will turn off later in the cycle when it is no longer possible to add clothes.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
