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

Check the door for any clothing or foreign objects caught in the latch.
Clean the door and the rubber seal with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
If you used too much detergent, run a rinse and spin cycle to clear out excess suds.
Close the door firmly to ensure it is properly latched.
Try starting a new cycle to see if the error is cleared.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

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