Replacing the door locking mechanism

If it becomes clear to you that the unit is generating the Door error due to mechanical failures, then the handle or its individual parts must be replaced. To fix the problem, you need to carefully remove the door from the MCA, removing a couple of fastening bolts. After this, the hatch is placed on a smooth table, the bolts securing the pair of door parts are unscrewed.

If you need to return the locking tongue to its original position, you should raise or lower the securing pin. If you completely disassemble the element, you can install the purchased handle:

• remove the spring;
• install a fixing element;
• carefully screw in the pin;
• fix the handle up.

Now it has become quite clear what to do when the washing unit shows the Door code on the monitor. The owner can handle the breakdown on his own if he tries to repair the mechanism according to the above instructions. Good morning!

Decoding

The Yandex translator interprets the English word door as a hatch or door. This Indesit error is in many ways similar to f17. Indicates that the loading hatch is not completely closed and is not locked. The electronics of the washing machine does not detect the readiness of the SMA for the cycle and does not allow the program to run. If it is already running, the control board commands an emergency stop for Indesit.

How to proceed

This error most often appears at the beginning, less often at the end, and very rarely during the washing process. Your Ariston or Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine with display:

All this is accompanied by the appearance of the door code or F17 on the screen.

On Ariston models with indicators only and no display, error F17 is indicated by the following illuminated/flashing buttons or indicators.

Repairing the locking mechanism

The washing machine is equipped not only with a classic lock, but also with a more reliable door latch with electric filling. The UBL lock is responsible for the door locking process, which may need to be fixed.

The experts claim that the reason lies precisely in the UBL, if the hatch is tightly closed, but the process does not start. The washing unit will not start washing until the hatch is locked in accordance with all the rules; often the display shows the specified code. The locking element operates from electrical impulses, under the influence of which the plates begin to gradually increase, pressing the lever.

It may happen that the plates fail and the lock has to be replaced. To begin with, it is recommended:

• check the locking mechanism with a multimeter;
• check if there are any blockages in the hole.

Often the reason lies in clogged debris that prevents the lock from locking. Cleaning is possible only after disassembling the UBL mechanism. If the problem with the error on the display has not been resolved, it is worth inspecting the wires located between the locking lock and the control module. Often, a detailed inspection can reveal minor defects that need to be corrected by insulation. At the end, we inspect the module, measuring the resistance on the board with a multimeter. If a breakdown is detected, it will have to be repaired or purchased a new one.

Samsung manufacturer fault codes

Sooner or later, users are faced with the fact that the Samsung washing machine writes an error on the display. What to do in such situations, what are the Samsung error codes, how can you fix the problem yourself? You need to have an idea about all these points.

• E1, 4C, 4E – fluid intake error. Water may take a long time to accumulate without reaching the desired level. You should check the availability of water supply, water pressure level, and the condition of the inlet hose.
• E2, 5E, 5C – liquid drain error. Most often the problem is related to blockages in the hose or drain filter. The malfunction can be easily resolved by simply cleaning these parts.
• E3, 0C, 0F, 0E – there is too much water in the tank. You should check that the hose is connected correctly to the sewer. If this is not the case, then the water supply valves are in the open position.
• E4, UB, UE – imbalance problem. Perhaps the things in the tank are twisted, or there are very few of them.
• E5, E6, E8, HC, HE – heating error. The first step is to check the washing machine's electrical connection. If everything is fine, the problem may be a breakdown of the heating element itself (heater).
• E7, 1C, 1E – there is no signal from the beacon that determines the liquid level in the tank. Most likely, the problem is damage to the beacon or connecting wires.
• E9, LC, LE – a problem associated with spontaneous draining of water. It is necessary to ensure that the hose is correctly positioned and connected to the water supply. If everything is in order, you need to inspect the tank for damage, from which water is leaking.
• SUD – too much foam has accumulated in the tank. This may be caused by too much detergent, poor quality detergent or the wrong type of detergent for the model.
• The washing machine issues Door when the door is not closed tightly, or stuck items are preventing it from closing. The situation is most often resolved by closing the door again until it clicks.

In washing machines with additional functions, such as Aquastop, drying, reloading, Wi-Fi, other errors may appear on the display. You can read more about them in the instructions.

The meaning of LG codes

If the AE or AOE code comes on, it indicates an automatic shutdown error. In machines with the Aquastop function, leakage protection may work. Water can get into the pan due to the fact that one of the elements is leaking: a rubber cuff, a pipe, or a washing machine tank. You can try gluing the cuff, but the remaining parts require replacement.

CE - indicates the machine’s engine is overloaded. Most often the problem occurs due to exceeding the maximum load of laundry. If the error light is accompanied by noisy operation during washing, it may be necessary to either replace the Hall sensor or the oil seal and bearing.

The appearance of the FE code is usually preceded by a constant supply and drainage of water, without the start of washing. The reason may be excessive foam formation due to washing items with a porous structure, or exceeding the permissible weight of the laundry.

Code FEIE, 1E, PE, OE - errors that mean that the machine was unable to collect enough water for washing in the allotted time. Causes:

• water supply shutdown;
• low pressure in the water supply;
• the shut-off valve is closed or not fully open;
• Damage to the inlet hose.

All these problems can be easily fixed. If all else fails, the water supply valve or pressure switch may need to be replaced. If the washing machine writes DE or Door, then there is a problem in closing the hatch. First of all, you should open and close the door again, carefully making sure that the door lock is latched.

None When the washing machine writes UE, this indicates an imbalance has occurred. The problem may occur due to lack of load. You should try reloading the laundry.

CL – enable child lock. The problem is resolved by simultaneously pressing two buttons indicated in the instructions and on the body of the washing machine. As a rule, rebooting the machine for 15 minutes can solve all problems. If this does not help, you should look for faults.

Door error in washing machines of various companies

Let's consider more specific actions for SM from leading manufacturers.

Indesit

You can often hear complaints about models from this company that they often break down. We will not argue about the quality of the product, but will deal with the door error code - as the most common problem.

The peculiarity is that the lock located inside the door is thought out rather poorly. The axis holding the hook with the spring pops out from time to time. As a result, the hook cannot lock the hatch in the “closed” position. If this happens, don’t get angry and kick the door. Just follow a few simple steps:
