My washer continues to kick off during the cycles several times a load. It isn't too much laundry. The door stays locked and I just hit the start button and it goes again. Any ideas?

The lock and the switch assembly switch could be broken with your washing machine and should be replaced.

When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer in order to assure good cleaning results.

quick drain.

DO NOT attempt to open the door until the door lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see

Well first check the trap. It can cause those symptoms. Let me know if issue continues.

Lid Switch Assembly If the washer stops mid cycle the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly If the washer stops mid cycle the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
Water Inlet Valve If the washer stops mid cycle the water inlet valve cold water side may have failed. Most washers have a cold water rinse and so if they can't fill with cold water they just sit indefinitely waiting for the cold water to enter. If there is cold water to the water inlet valve and the cold water works in other parts of the cycle - or to make warm water - the valve is not the problem.

Main Control Board If the washer stops mid-cycle the main control board might be defective. This is not common. Check other causes first such as the lid or door switch and other components.

Timer If the washer stops mid cycle the timer might be defective. This part is often misdiagnosed, check other components before replacing this timer.

try to start another cycle then hit cancel and cancel again and it usually unlocks the washer

Try this I had the same problem and it fixed it when the washer stops it will flash a code I got F 02 but this is really easy and need to be done I wish I had known about it sooner
