Whirlpool duet washer, door locked light on door open no other lights on unable to set control

Hi Bruce.
i found this on the net.
The lid can become locked if something is clogging the pump or filter drain. This means the washer is unable to drain properly, thus it won't unlock the door. It may also mean you need to replace a faulty drain pump.

Or try this link out.

control lock light ? have you got any blockages or dirty filters you may have to clean them.

To unlock the controls

Hi,


Press and hold the End of Cycle Signal button for three seconds. This will turn off the Control Lock feature.


Thank you !!

This advise is for Kenmore Elite and Whirlpool Duet front loader washers and dryers with a Control Lock problem.

This may or may not be an indication of a serious problem. In the majority of the cases, this is a simple operator error. Nearly all these model appliances have some sort of Control Lock feature on the front panel now. This is a designed safety feature that is used to prevent small children from manipulating the controls. The controls can be easily locked or unlocked by pressing and holding the following button on the front panel:

Whirlpool Duet Washer - Press and hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL button for 3 seconds.

Whirlpool Duet Dryer - Press and hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL button for 3 seconds.

Kenmore Elite Washer - Press and hold the DRAIN/SPIN button for 3 seconds.

Kenmore Elite Dryer - Press and hold the AUTO DRY LEVEL button for 3 seconds.

These instructions may not be all inclusive for all Kenmore and Whirlpool models, but they are the most common. Chances are, if you have a Control Lock feature, the instructions will be printed on the front panel adjacent to the button that is required to lock or unlock the controls.

NOTE: These instructions may also work for newer model Maytag, Hotpoint, Admiral and Fridgidaire model front loaders as well. Refer to your owner's manual or front panel for instructions pertaining to your sepcific model.

If the Control Lock feature will not lock or unlock the appliance, unplugging the unit for AT LEAST 30 minutes is recommended in order to reset the main control board. In many cases this is all that is required to correct momentary glitches.

probably your door then, look at the door itself, at the latch is it broken? should form a complete square hole with four sides. if broken some part is probably inside lock asm. if complete, look at lock and determine if its in the lock position with door open, a arm will be up preventing the latch from going in. replace as necessary. Old duets (red lights) use standard lock asm same as GE and samsung. New duets (green lights) use whirlpool/new maytag unique asm. New locks come in two interchageable models, German (made in china) and Mexican, Mexican model is more troublesome, get german.
If lights flash during a cycle or other time, its giving a code, note the F code displayed

Hold down "end of cycle" button for 3 seconds.

Hold the 'end of cycle' signal button for 3 seconds.

defective door switch,,replace

Your problem could be the control board or control panel. Most of the cases it is the control panel. I replaced the entire panel and it works like new. If you can determine what the problem is, you can save yourself a lot of money by doing the repair yourself. Either one is quite easy to replace. Good luck.
