. If the door or lid won’t open at the end of the cycle, then the lock mechanism may be at fault. Most washers will have a manual release to unlock the mechanism and allow you to open the door or lid. The release is normally accessible from below the door lock, or on some models, from inside the soap dispenser housing.
How to inspect the door lock in a washing machine:
Disconnect your appliance from the power source before beginning.
Locate and clean your door lock to remove any films or debris that may have built up. It is usually located along the frame of the washing machine, under the lid.
If cleaning it does not resolve the issue, remove the door lock from the appliance to inspect it for damage, cracking or wear. You likely will need to remove all or part of the washer’s cabinet to remove the switch.
If you find your switch shows any of the symptoms above, you will need a replacement door lock.
