Washer gives code F22. I replaced the door lock mechanism but it still will not start.

The F22 is a door lock error. When the control senses the door has not locked after six attempts F22 will be displayed.

There may be detergent on the door lock mechanism keeping it from locking. I recommend cleaning the moving parts of the door lock. Also make sure the wiring connections from the CCU (Central Control Unit) to the door lock are tight and in good condition.

If you have a volt/ohm meter and are comfortable working around live electricity I can give you a few checks that will help you diagnose the problem. I have included a wiring diagram that will help you locate theses connectors (see below). I have also included detailed testing information to help with your diagnosing. Always unplug or de-energize electrical equipment before removing covers or attempting service. Be careful and wear appropriate hand protection when working around sharp metal parts.

• Check VAC (Voltage Alternating Current) at IF2.
  • You should have 120VAC, if not check the wiring.
• Check VAC at DS2.
  • You should have 120VAC, if not check the wiring and if good replace the CCU.
• Check VAC at DLS2.
  • You should have 120VAC, if not check the wiring and if good replace the door lock assembly.

Look at the information below and it should clear up your mystery.

DOOR LOCK ERROR

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


Possible Causes/Procedure ??  Door lock mechanism is broken or removed from door.

??  Door switch/lock unit failure.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check door switch/lock unit.
3. Check the wire harness connections to the door switch/lock unit and Central Control Unit (CCU)

Hi,


"F22" is a door latch failure error code. At the beginning of the wash cycle the door will attempt to lock several times. If the latch fails to lock, the washer shuts down and the error code is displayed.
In some cases, the error code can also be displayed if the CCU goes bad. There is a door latch relay on the board that controls the door locking mechanism. The CCU is not serviceable and must be replaced if defective. In addition, make sure all the connector plugs between the CCU and door latch are connected and snug.

Thank you !!

This fault code denotes 6 failed attempts at locking the door. I have found that this code is typically indicitave of a failed lock. Check the strike on the door to be sure nothing boke on it, and if not get a replacement door lock assy for your machine. You will see the three screws that hold it in and can remove the front spring clamp from your door boot to give yourself access to the door lock.

Good luck to you on this!!

DOOR LOCK ERROR
After 6 failed attempts to lock the door.
Possible Causes/Procedure
Door lock mechanism is broken or removed from door.
Door switch/lock unit failure.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check door switch/lock unit.
3. Check the wire harness connections to the door switch/lock unit and Central Control Unit (CCU).

"F22" is a door lock error. The washer locks the door at the beginning of the wash cycle. If, after 6 attempts, the door fails to lock, the error code is displayed. You can attempt to correct the problem by perform the following steps:

1. Unplug the washer for at least 30 minutes in an attempt to reset the Central Control Unit (CCU). This is the main control board for the washer. Sometimes this is all that is required to correct some common momentary glitches. If the error code reappears after a CCU reset, proceed to step 2.
2. Check the door switch and locking mechanism for any obvious signs of broken or missing parts.
3. Check the wiring harness from the door latch to the CCU. You will need to remove the washer top panel for access. This is accomplished by UNPLUGGING the washer and removing the three screws that hold the top panel in place in the rear of the washer. With the screws removed, the panel will slide back, then off. Verify that the connectors are in place and snug.

If all these preliminary steps still don't fix the problem, the manufacturer recommends replacing the door latch assembly. Replacements can be purchased at appliancepartspros.com. Use the "Search by Part Number" feature and look up part number 8182634.

TAKE 3 SCREWS OUT THAT HOLD THE BOTTOM FRONT PIECE REACH UP BEHIND AND ON THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM THERE IS A ROUND PLASTIC DOOHICKEY PULL IT DOWN ABOUT 1/2 AN INCH OR AS FAR AS YOU CAN AND IT WILL UNLOCK THE DOOR.
