Question about Kenmore 3.8 cu. ft. HE3t Front Load Washer
I ran a cycle before bed and the machine seemed to run forever. This morning I found the door won't unlock. The "controls locked" button is lit. I attempted to run another cycle to clear the problem and found the drum doesn't turn and the motor sounds aren't the same as usual. Unplugging the machine does not correct the problem. I have a repairman coming in the morning. I have no idea what is wrong or how much repairs will potentially cost. Question: Would it be reasonable to spend $280 for a one year extended warranty that will cover the cost of the repair I have scheduled or is the warranty cost too high in relation to what my repair bill will likely be outright?
Try holding 'end of cycle' button for 3 seconds. If not........
If you get the door to open try some WD40 on the door mechanism, not on door, and open/close a few times. "Plug should be off the wall" when trying this, and tinkering inside machine, caution.

Hello and welcome to FixYa
DL f 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.
