Door Lock Error

A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be unlocked. It will try to lock it 6 times before displaying the error. Check or repair the following:

Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the Door

Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly

Check the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU)

Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure

Here's a list of the parts and where to get them: http://www.repairclinic.com/Appliance-Pa..."

"The iFixit guide I'm working on explains how to clean or replace the door lock relay, which is the cause of some of the F-DL errors.

Repairing Kenmore Elite HE3 Washer Control Board Relays

Could I ask you a favor? Before you follow the whole guide and replace the relay, could you please try something? Remove the top panel of the washing machine, and tap the grey control box (hanging in the back) with a screwdriver, then see if the F-DL error goes away. This is something we did as a temporary measure while the problem was getting progressively more frequent.

I'd like to know if tapping it works, as that might be a good diagnostic check someone could do before going the whole 9 yards to unsolder the relay.

Thanks in advance,

John"
