After following all the suggestions in the Guide, (press chimes and extra rinse for 3 seconds etc.) all it did was gave more codes not listed in the guide.I tried unplugging it for 15 minutes and plugging it back in. I moved on in the guide and checked to see if the hoses were kinked or obstructed. Then AFTER UNPLUGGING the washer I removed the back panel, it was very easy, only 2 screws. I looked at all of the wires and where they connected and made sure they were all "plugged in all the way". One wire was connected but not "all the way snug". I pushed it snug, never thinking that this could make any real difference, replaced the panel , plugged it back in an it now works as always.

    I pressed the "signal on or off button" and the "extra rinse button" for 3 seconds! VOILE! The door magically unlocked! Thank you!

I found the manual release but had to take the washer apart to get to it. You actually have to get where you can open the front of the washer so you can reach a black pull ring about where the locking mechanism is on the latch side of the door. Once you pry the front open you can reach it with a bent hanger or something like that. I found it, pulled it down and the door was unlocked. Saved some money on the repair too.

Samsung vrt nd or nb error code

ND is not draining, the washer probably has water in it and won't open. In which case you need to open the little tiny panel on the front of the washer and pull out the little hose and drain the washer and then clean our the filter next to the hose. NB means not balanced and the clothes have become unbalanced, move the clothes around and start it back up. If it happens a lot the washer is not on even ground and needs to be leveled.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

'dE' stands for 'door Error' indicating that there is a problem either with the lid/door lock or the lid/door locked sensor requiring a service call, sorry ;-0(

If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!

My maytag front loader washer is saying nd so i turned it off but the door wont open to get the cloths out how do i get the door open ???

Hello

ND error in your Maytag Front Load washer indicates no drain issue. To start with check the drain hose for any clogs and try cleaning it, then check restriction in drain pump assembly or loose wire at the pump. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Error code shows F71. door is locked and there are clothes in there soaking in water that I need to get out!! what does F71 mean and how do if solve the problem

Hi.

Sorry for the late reply.

F71 points at a connection error between button pad and control board.

Please read the indications in this article: F70 and F71 are two logic board error codes...

If you get similar problems in the future, and machine gets stuck in error mode with clothes inside, empty water from tub disconnecting the drain filter, located behind a panel in front lower side of appliance. After emptying water the door will normally get opened.

Regards.

Kenmore Oasis has error code dl

The dL error code is a door lock error. The control board will attempt 6 times to lock the door before displaying the F dL error code. This is an indication that either the door lock is malfunctioning or the control board is not responding to the door locking circuit. Be sure the door is securely closed before attempting to start the washer. Open the door & check for clothing or something that may be stuck in the door boot area. If the door is securely closed & you still have the error code I would recommend having the door lock assembly replaced.

Good Luck and Please rate
