"If you see a key indicator rather than a lock, this means that the door is locked. This may be because the child lock is on but may also be because the cycle is not finished or the machine has detected an error.Apr
How to Bypass a Washing Machine Lid Lock
Turn off the washer and unplug the appliance. ...
Locate the retaining tabs and/or screws that hold the top horizontal panel down. ...
Look for the lid lock switch on the underside of the top panel and where it fits into the appliance. ...
Put the lid back down and plug the washing machine back into the electrical outlet.
not sure if this was suggested but Siemens suggests unplug the machine, plug it back in and wait a few seconds, then select a cycle. The locked door should release.
try plugging it back in and give it a moment for it to unlock and check its self some front loaders normally have a self diagnostic system to check if it has a problem and it may unlock its self after pressing the power on key
Unplug all of your RAM, expansion cards and IDE/SATA devices. Leave only the processor and the CPU/heatsink plugged in, now try turning it on. If it boots, you should get a ram error, which is normal. If it doesn't boot, either the board, processor, or power supply is bad. Next, reinstall the RAM and start it up again. If it boots again, keep adding parts until you find the one that is causing the problem.
I've had a similiar problem on my calypso. In my case the key pad would go dead after washing or pushing stop after a few minutes. If I unpluged the unit for a few minutes it would work again. This would appear to be in the controller board. I removed the board and inspected it finding no problems. After re-installing the board the washer appears to be working again. My conclusion is that there is a loose connector/connection. I'd suggest you remove and re-install all the connectors on the controller board. This is the board closest to the power chord.
This happend to me once, and it was in relation to a blocked intake filter.
- Check that the intake houses are not cloged and the small filter under neath is clean (Use an old tooth brash) - Also check the opening on the front bottom left of the machine. (Open with a flat head screw driver) . My one had coins in it. Note: drain with the small pipe into a backet so when you open it you don't have watter everywere.
Remove three screw at bottom of washer, pull of lower panel, reach up on right side just under the locking mechanism and bull ring down. door should unlock.
