When water is still present in the washing machine, the door cannot be opened.

 

The door may be automatically locked for two Safety Reasons and those reasons are:

  • The washer is too hot.Water remains in the washer
  • However, to be able to open the door during the washing cycle, press ‘Stop’ Button.

 

You also must:

  • Select ‘Spin only’ cycle to drain the water
  • Wait until the unit cools down.

 

Note: Only after doing the above-mentioned instructions, the door could be opened safely.
