Washing machine door detected as being open
Door open error code can also be displayed as "dOE"
Very simple error, the fault code indicates that either the door is indeed open or that the door lock or door interlock mechanism cannot inform the electronics that the door is properly closed.
LG door locks are known to and do commonly fail, the common one used in most
LG washing machines and washer dryers
can be found here with a link to a lower cost alternative part. However the door handle (
can be found here) is also a common source of trouble and, if the catch doesn't engage into the lock properly you will get this fault code being displayed.
On non-display panel models this fault code is denoted by the light for the door lock being lit or flashing.
- Check door is closed correctly and latched
- Check door handle for damage or wear
- Check door safety lock if inoperative replace door lock
- Check door lock wiring
- If there is a clicking sound once or twice when the Start/Pause button is pressed the main control board may be faulty
