Door locked on compact Whirlpool front-load washer

Have a top loader that does same thing. To reset the motor to spin the clothes, unplug washer for several minutes and plug back in. Immediately after the lid disengages open and close the door 6 consecutive times quickly. This worked enough to get a few loads done but we had to eventually replace the Accuator which I got on Amazon and my husband replaced it. He found all kinds of help on YouTube by make and model. You will find the majority are made by the same 2or 3 manufacturers and problems on one and fix is about the same on all of them. You just have to order the part that fits your particular model number. It's not hard to fix depending where it's located on a front loader.

This is usually the wax motor in the door switch. It's inexpensive and easy to replace. Here are a couple links that should help http://appliancehelponline.com/frontloadmaytagdoor.html

If your machine is a Duet model or it's relative, first unplug the machine then remove the lower valance under the door (three screws on the botttom of the machine) reach up by the door lock and you'll find a plastic tab hanging down, that's the manual release for the door lock. Wile you have the valance off look inside the machine and pull out the technician sheets that are stuck on the inside wall of the machine, you may need them later.

Hi,
You can remove the top cover of the unit and put your hands towards the door lock and just hit fair enough to get release the lock mostly it will open if not means just break the lock and replace it since if you are technician it will be easier for you if not kindly call the technician and do the service

Press & hold 'end of cycle' at right of panel for 3 seconds. The light will come off.

And rate me plz....................

You should be able to unlock the control lock by holding the "end of cycle" signal for 3 seconds or until the "control locked" status light turns off.

If that doesn't work, please post your model number.

I've had this problem before i unplugged it because holding down the lock button didn't work so unplugging it from the wall for about 20 minutes worked just fine it seemed to reset itself. good luck.

take the kick panel off and reach up the right side where the door lock is. there is a release pull down that releases the door.

must change door lock switch.

You are having a door switch problem change it out and you will have a new washing machine.
