Hello Kelli Etienne,
You will need your model number.
"FL" is a lock error (failure)... DOOR LATCH.
Service folks at SEARS will tell you...
"you need a technician"...
I detest SEARS ... after being a faithful Craftsman dweeb
for years... I now find them pushy... distant... pricy
(not to mention incompetent (I had a FULL WARRANTY
but it didn't bother SEARS - Elite washer issue
(3 months @ laundromat... REALLY ANGRY (sorry)).
REGARDLESS their on-line LIBRARY is no-so-bad.

However... if you go to OTHER PARTS retailers
you will also find really great VIDEO GUIDES to help.
(same parts... EVERYWHERE... so shop PRICES)
I will only add: ALWAYS TAKE DETAILED PICTURES
BEFORE taking anything apart... (before).
Saves being PUZZLED later.
Go to these sites...
look up your model number & DOOR LATCH.

If your washing machine is still under the manufacturers warranty I don't believe Sears should be charging you anything for the call. But, if you wish to steer clear of that mess and repair the washer yourself, I can give you some advice. The problem is your door latch assembly. The "Fdl" displayed is a failed door latch error code. If it is occurring intermittently right now, you are simply going to buy some time before it eventually goes bad. When it does, the washer will not run. The part number is 1094190 and costs about $50. Just to be sure, post back with comments as to your model number (located along the door frame opening) and I will research to ensure the part number is correct. The latch assemblies have not changed over recent years and are interchangeable between model numbers. If you still wish to repair yourself, I can also give you step-by-step instructions. It is not a difficult repair, but it is a little tedious. Let me know. I hope this helps you.

Just in case there is a pull string with a loop, all plastic under the latch, need to pull the toe panel off and reach up inside the right, unplugged of course until you feel the switch. a pull latch is below the switch incase this happens and hats off to all star/ a serial error or a faulty switch is most of what causes this to start.

It may not be your temperature sensor or thermistor. If you have a tE error code on your Samsung washing machine, first check the wiring. My Samsung washer had three visits by the repair tech. and new parts ordered again and again. I looked on a British web site and two people said that it turned out to be wiring broken in several places. Sure enough, I found a broken wire. Technician didn't look for that. Hope it's as easy for you.
