What this code means
Door Lock Fault Water Above Door by Pressure – Door lock feedback is unlock while water level detected by pressure sensor is above the door threshold.
First step from the service manual
Ensure door fully closes to ensure door locks; check the door lock using service mode spin test 14.
Next steps: diagnose the root cause
1
Verify the error code is active
Power cycle the unit and see if the code returns. If it does, the fault is persistent and requires diagnosis.
2
