Due to power outage can't get door open on Whirlpool Duet front loader washer. With wet towels inside, need to manually open door to get them out. Is there an easy solution?
Hello,

On that type of washer the door lock is wired in series with the water level switch and if water remains in tub the door lock will not power up and unlock..what you can try is (if havent already done so) is select the drain/spin only cycle and when the water has drained the door should unlock

I have a whirlpool duet washer front load and its giving me a message of dl f. I can hear it trying to click but nothing happens.
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.

F dL symbol on Whirlpool duet HT
It is saying there is a problem with your door Lock. when you close the door does it hold like it use too? try to open and close the door if it doesn't really close properly then you will just need a door latch. If the machine gives you an f11 code then its the main computer board that can also give your the door lock error. I would check the door first though.
