Samsung · Samsung WF45R6100AW 4.5 cu. ft. Front Load Washer
The door or lid lock mechanism is not engaging properly, or the lid was opened during a cycle. On front-load washers, the door lock assembly contains a solenoid and a switch — both must function for the cycle to start. The lock may be physically jammed, the solenoid may have failed, or the wiring may be loose. Check for obstructions preventing the door from closing fully. If the door closes and locks manually but the washer does not detect it, the switch inside the lock assembly has failed. On top-load washers, this code appears when the lid is opened during the spin cycle — the washer stops spinning for safety. Close the lid and press Start to resume. If the lid is closed but the code persists, the lid lock switch may be faulty.
