Maytag front load washer door lock blinking.

The door lock light is blinking on my front load maytag maxima. After 8 minutes the door will unlock. During this period you will be able to hear the pump running. This is a page about unlocking the door on a maytag front load washer.

The door should unlock after 60 seconds. Pausing the wash cycle is how it can be disabled. Some models will lock immediately while others will not lock until after the wash cycle has started. It is flashing red door locked.

If it does not detect both water supply hoses are turned on the control detects a problem with the water pressure sensor. A lock icon appears on the front of the washer s control panel to indicate the lid is locked and also displays the current progress of the cleaning cycle depending on the model of your maytag washer. The washer will go into a hold and drain routine for 8 minutes. I have a control lock on my front load washer.

If the washer will not unlock at the end of a wash cycle unplug the washer or disconnect power. The door may immediately unlock. This is all it will do. When using one of these cycles the door will remain locked until the cancel button is pushed.

Refer to your use and care guide to determine which model you have. Run a drain and spin cycle. The door lock led light will blink. Nothing else will appear to be happening with the machine during this time.

Front loaders have a locking mechanism to avoid opening the door during a washing cycle but occasionally this lock will be activated accidentally. Wait approximately 2 minutes for control to reset. Front loading washers include a control lock feature that temporarily disables use of the control panel and requires deactivating the lock prior to pausing the cleaning cycle. The control lock on bottom right is solid red.

If that doesn t work leave the washer plugged in for 20 minutes and it should unlock. This happened when i forgot to turn the water on. So the first thing you ll want to do is just unplug the washer for 60 seconds and see if the latch will reset. First it had a code blinking that i looked up and it was for the water so i turned it on and now it is making a humming noise and the door is locked and that is all it will do.

This washer has sensors that detect the water supply and requires both hoses to have water going to the water valve. Reconnect power to washer plug in.
