There should be a button on the control panel that says "open door" you need to push that button and wait for the washer to shut off before you open the door. Try pushing that button to see if that resets. My guess is that you broke the safety latch when you opened the door and it will need repair.

    In my case, im at a friend's house and herhandle had broken off some time ago to open the door. It should be on left, but in absence of an obvious handle the square opening on other side of the door (where hidden hinge is) looked like where you might grip door to open it.

The LOC code merely means the control responded and locked the door. You'll find a tech sheet under the top panel of the machine to help guide you thru the diagnostic process, which is fairly involved.

LOC means it thinks the control panel is locked. This gives the ERR indication when you push the buttons. To unlock it you need to hold down the Options and Select buttons together until it reacts.

I know this may seem silly but - On the top right back corner of your washer hit it with medium force with your fist, this helps.

So I I bought a used Kenmore Elite Smart Wash, Quiet Pak 9, Clothes Washer and I can't get the delay switch to go off. Seems as if It's preventing the washer from running a cycle.

Disconnect the electric plug for five minutes then plug it back in spin the controlled by around two or three ways and then start over push the start button

Door won't open

the lock switch is probably stuck. make sure machine is off but plugged in still. Push in on the door while gently giving a couple of thumps around the lock area and the lock will probably "click" open.
