My door keeps locking and then it wont open. It beeps DL or F11.

Try lowering the drain hose onto the ground and see if the water comes out. Turn off at the wall and then back on again a few minutes later. See if the door unlocks this time. Most front loaders wont let you open the door if it thinks its still full of water.

Please check this link for tips to open the door: Door locked

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.

I had same error code F11 and DL.....I sprayed the door lock (inside) with WD40......so far works OK

I had the same F11/DL problem. I tighten the two screws on the door latch and it's working great for now

Just some part numbers to help if you need to order parts. For the GHW9200LWO Washer (Sanitary Cycle Model)- the part number for the CCU (Microcomputer or main computer) is 8181924. The part number for the Motor Control Unit (MCU) is 8182706. I did a search for the part numbers and found the CCU for $79.90 shipping included - the same part from Whirlpool was $190 plus with shipping included. I put the CCU on and my washer works perfectly again. Hope this helps someone since I had such a hard time finding out the correct part numbers. Whirlpool first sent me the MCU even though I specifically told them it was not that part but the CCU.

DL is a door lock error. This is usually an indication of a bad door latch. F11 is a serial communications error from the Central Control Unit CCU (which is your main computer). If the door latch is defective it could be generating the communications error code as well. A defective CCU can also give the same symptoms, though. Before replacing any parts, however, double check all you connections to make sure you don't have any loose wires. The least expensive of the two possible solutions would be to replace the door latch (about $50). The CCU can run between $150 and $250. Hope this leads you in the right direction.

I wanna thank all of you for your input. I had the "DL F-11" code also. My washer would run 12 minutes and then stop with the annoying beep and error codes. After learning that the "DL" was the door lock, I decided to order the part online for 50 bucks. After I placed the order I decided to take this $50 thing apart and give it a look-see. (Boys like to tear things apart!)
There is a solenoid inside that actuates the lock. My finding was that there was some hardened goo that seeped out of the solenoid. It didn't look good! I believe this to have caused an electrical imbalance that the computer didn't like, thus sending it into error mode.
Removal and installation was a snap. First I took the top off, 2 or 3 screws behind, slide away from you an inch or so & lift up. Then to make room for my arm to get to the door-lock, I pushed the drum all the way back and held it in place by wedging a shoe in the front end. Then I pushed the drum to the side, opposite the door-lock, and wedged it with another shoe. This gave me plenty of room to reach the door-lock. Unplug the three connectors and remove the three screws from the front side of the door-lock. (Inside door at 2:00.)
Reverse order for the install!
Thanks again for your posts which led me in the right direction!

LOC stands for lock....door lock failure....check the door strike and make sure door is closed....if closed wil need to replace lock mechanism

f11 eror is a serial coommunication error check the harness wirinbg tio the motor and cpu unit
check the drive system for worn part
check mcu motor the dl error fial code is for door lock error it will try to lock 6 times before error code is displayed that is the issue see repair clinic.com for help hope that helps

with panel off reach up to lock location pull down on small tab door latch will click (at this point door would pop open if it were closed ) retry operation to see if ok if code dl reappear may to replace door lock if f11 may need new control module under top rear..ck wires first ..good luck

Press on pause for about 15 seconds, then open the door, choose your program, close the door hard and press on start.
