Whirlpool duet washer wont start at times.

It makes light clicking sound every few seconds when turned on, wont lock door. I've learned to tell immediately when its not going to work. I usually, after fooling with it leave it awhile,come back later and fool with it some more. Finally it will click one loud click and come on, and will work for several week or months after that.........when not working it flashes ....dL....which is not in the troubleshooting then some # I cant remember ( maybe 6).It is working now

Hi



Thanks for using FixYa. Error “dlf” or "fdl"or dl means a door latch failure. To resolve this issue the door latch assembly should be replaced however, before doing that you can leave the washer unplugged for 30minutes so that it resets itself. In the meantime when it’s unplugged just inspect the door latch wiring to ensure all the connector plugs are intact and not loose or broken. You can access the door latch wiring harness by removing the top panel of the washer. To remove the top panel just remove the three screws that hold the panel in place in the rear of the washer. With the screws removed, the panel will slide back, and then lift off. Locate the door latch assembly behind the front panel on the right hand side. Trace all the connectors from the door latch to the Central Control Unit (CCU) and make sure they are properly seated at both ends. If after doing this still the issue is not resolved then unfortunately you have to get the door latch replaced. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.



Thanks
Rylee

My washer has an F dl problem?

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.

My Duet washer starts and runs for few seconds, then stops.

unplug machine take small panel off on bottom front of your washer, there should be a twist knob on pump, unscrew this (bearing in mind water will come out) you will find a strainer that catches debris before going through pump, clean out debris and re-intall. plug machine back in and try again.

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.
