Yup, LE is the door latch. Seems like at some point the solenoid gets too weak to push the switch that tells the washer the latch is really closed and it cuts power to the latch and won't operate.

The door latch is fairly easy to repair. I've done it twice and I'm just an intermediate DIYer. The latches seem to fail every 3-4 years. You pull the rubber ring and the metal ring from around the door, then undo those two screws you can see around the latch. Then unplug. Then reverse. Unlike many instruction videos for other ASKO models, you do not need to pull the front panel off to do this. Just the rubber ring and huge retaining ring that holds it in place.

The confusion right now is finding the parts because no one SEEMS to have them in stock, but they are easy to get, if you don't bother with google to find them, because you won't find them there. Sub Zero has exclusive rights to distribute Asko parts in the US now. So you have to go through them. If you use google you will find "out of stock" and "discontinued" on the listings of everyone else who used to be allowed to sell them. The official distributors aren't google friendly, I guess.

If you are in New England, you can get parts from Certified Appliance Parts if you are in the Mid Atlantic you have to go through Mid-Atlantic Parts Distributors. If you are elsewhere, search for "sub zero parts" and your state. The right place should come up.

Try some WD40 spray on the door and lock. Just a bit. Try closing and opening the door. The machine should be in the <off> position.

The suspension spring of the drum has come off and this means that the drum is hanging off the center.
The drum is hung with spring and shock absorbers and if one side has come off it will be off balanced. The springs are hung from the corners of the BODY FRAME. Check this out, replace spring if the end had broken or also you can use a good plier to extend the spring head to be clipped.( if broken)

Most likely it's a corroded door catch or a bad solenoid. Hopefully it's not the main control board. You'll need a repair manual or technician. A work around would be to use detergent tablets in the compartment

has your machine got a filter that is exsessable if so you need to undo it and empty the water,( before the door will not open with water in the drum its a safety device if the filter is not on the front of your machine you will need to find it and clean

here is a video that shows someone closing an Asko machine. I think you just have to get your hand in that place where she shuts the door and pull.

The only way is to pull out the dishwasher ,unhook the latch and then unscrew the door panel.your dishwasher is installed with 2 screws to the underside of your countertop. its tricky but youll have to remove them adjust to leveling legs down this will give you more room to get some head bit in ther to remove the screws if its out then slide the d/w foward ,remove the strike plate door will open then you can get your dishes out first
