What this code means
Door error (drawer) caused by incorrectly connected or broken door lock switch terminal of Assy Housing Drawer, drawer pulled by force, or main PCB fault.
First step from the service manual
Check the door lock switch terminal connections of the Housing drawer. Check if the drawer is properly engaged.
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.
