The thing is with the new machines and codes, you have to go with what they tell you. without a model number i can not be 100% sure. But i can say with great certainty that a DL error is Door Lock. This happens to machines sometimes and causes weird problems. It all depends on how the door lock is acting. Sometimes you can't get the machine to start at all, sometimes it will run a bit and stop. To fix this a new door lock would need to be installed. With the model number, I can give an average price and a part number if you wanted to get the lock yourself and repair it :)

What does F DL means i opened the door to add something then t came up F DL and wont start again, the cycle had just started I pressed cancel all it does is beep and flash F DL

Hello and welcome to FixYa


FDL is a door lock error and is caused due to an issue with the door lock when it is unable to lock/unlock. Please check the door lock mechanism/door switch assembly and replace the part that has gone bad so that the issue is resolved. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

What does f dl mean

Hello, F DL means
A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It will try to lock it six times before displaying the error code.

Potential Causes
• 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

Ohm out the door lock solenoid and the door lock switches. This is most conveniently done at the central control board--use the wiring diagram/tech sheet to locate the proper pins to test from. Unplug the washer before starting work.

Thanks

Error c:\windows\system32\jebufij.dl could not be

sounds like you may have a bug. In most cases an anti virus should fix the prob. However, some will not. in this case you can reload windows and it will fix the prob. Do a full install, not a repair. (formatting the hard drive)

If you already replaced the latch, and still get fdl, then the problem is wiring harness to timer board or timer board connections, check them out.

My front loading washer wont start it flash E and DL i dont no what it means can you pls help me?

DL means door lock error. This happens when the door trys to lock 6 times but cant lock.
There a 2 things that create this problem. the door lock mechanism or the CCU ( central control unit )
Replace the door lock mech. first. if this does not fix the problem replace the ccu.

Cycle wont start then I get Error / dl

the dl code is a door lock error,open door and examine door lock assy mounted on front panel.look for a plastic push pin approx 5inches up from square lock assy.if that pin is missing,replace door lock.if pin is there,you could still have bad door lock or loose wire connected to door lock.
