Samsung Washer Error Code Door open error

This error means the washer detected that the door was open or unlatched when the machine attempted to run the spin or dehydration cycle. The error only appears at spin, not during earlier wash or rinse phases. The buzzer activates and only the START button remains functional until the door is properly closed.

Pressing START clears the buzzer and restores normal button function once the door is properly closed, which is the intended reset procedure for this specific error. A full power reset will not resolve the underlying problem if the door latch or lock switch is defective. The error will return on the next spin cycle if the root cause is not addressed.

Parts for a door latch assembly or door lock switch on a Samsung washer typically range from around 20 to 80 dollars depending on the specific model. If a technician is needed for diagnosis and installation, total repair costs generally fall in the range of 100 to 250 dollars including labor. A wiring or alignment issue may cost less if no parts are needed.

Start by firmly closing the door until you hear it click, then press the START button to silence the buzzer and resume the cycle. If the error returns repeatedly, inspect the door seal for trapped clothing, and check the latch for wear or damage. A faulty door latch assembly or door lock switch will require part replacement to resolve the error permanently.

The washer is designed to stop the spin cycle and restrict controls when this error is detected, which is a safety function to prevent high-speed drum rotation with an unsecured door. Do not attempt to force the machine to continue spinning if the door latch is broken. Resolve the door closure issue before running additional cycles.
