F dl I get the clicking and F with dl. The washer does not come on.

The error code "dl" is for door lock. From what I've read, it may mean you need to replace the latch assembly.

Hi, DL means Door Lock Failure while F is either (F80, 82,
84, 85).....
DL flashes if the following conditions occur:

• Door lid is not closed completely due to interference.
• Wash media buildup is preventing the lock bolt from extending.
• Machine/motor control detects open door lid switch when attempting to lock.
• Machine/motor control cannot determine if door lid is in a locked state.

Most likely, you're looking at a door lock issue, which you already found, but the next step--as discussed below would the the wiring and control board....

Error code stands for door lock. May need a new door lock.

On this washer, the dl code indicates a failed lid lock mechanism. Pressing pause/cancel should reset the controls.

You may have to unplug the unit for 20-30 minutes, then restore the power.

If that doesn't work, the only other solution would be to replace the door lock assembly.

That is the solenoid clicking. dl is a door lock error, and you can test and replace the door lock switch, but I am doubtful that will correct the problem. I really hope it does, but I have seen the dl code with the solenoid clicking at the rear of the(Whirlpool Duet) washer before and it was a faulty control board. I hope I am wrong, but... You can try unplugging and resetting the washer. In the case I saw, the machine would reset, but gradually got to a point that it had to be reset numerous times. (too many). Anyway, I hope I am wrong and best wishes. (Don't forget to test the door lock switch. Use a multimeter and check for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty switch. Hope this helped.

Fdl is a code that indicates a door lock error. The clicking sound that you hear is most likely the door lock. This error occurs because the door cannot be locked. The door will try to lock six times before displaying the error code. You have a faulty door lock switch. Hope this helped and best wishes.

This should indicate a door lock error and the clicking is the door trying to lock. The door is supposed to attempt to lock six times before the dl error is displayed. It is most likely caused by a faulty door lock switch. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Door lock error


A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It will try to lock it 6 times before displaying the error.

Potential Causes

• Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the Door
• Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly
• Check the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure

Replace failed component.

remove the top cover of washer at rear is the main control bd try wiggling the wires on front side usuually the larger wires if it works bad connections on control no fix but to replace it ..HOWEVER try shimming the plugs in place to hold them in position where it will work...possible door lock itself but control more likely
