How to Fix E34 / F34 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Disconnect the dryer from the power outlet to ensure safety.
  2. Remove the top panel of the dryer by unscrewing the retaining screws, which are typically located at the back or sides.
  3. Locate the door lock assembly on the inner side of the front panel where the door latches.
  4. Carefully unplug the wire harness connected to the door lock. There may be a small clip you need to press to release it.
  5. Unscrew the two screws that mount the door lock to the dryer’s front panel and remove the old lock.
  6. Position the new door lock (part 00623850 or 10000270) and secure it using the screws you just removed.
  7. Reconnect the wire harness to the new lock, ensuring it clicks into place securely.
  8. Reattach the top panel, plug the dryer back in, and test the door to confirm the error is cleared.
