How to Fix Amana Washer Error DLO

Error Code: DLO Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Lid is not locking. This could be due to an obstruction or detergent buildup.

How to Fix DLO Error (Step-by-Step)

1. First, check for any clothing items, towels, or other obstructions that might be caught between the lid and the washer body, preventing it from closing properly.
2. Unplug the washer from the power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
3. Clean the area around the lid lock and the strike with a damp cloth to remove any detergent or fabric softener buildup.
4. Inspect the lid lock mechanism for any visible damage or signs of wear.
5. If the area is clear and clean and the lock still won’t engage, the lid lock assembly likely needs to be replaced.
6. To replace the lock, you will need to access it by removing the top console or panel of the washer. Disconnect the wire harness, remove the screws holding the old lock, and install the new one.
7. Reassemble the washer, plug it in, and test the new lock by starting a cycle.
8. 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.
