How to Unlock the Door of a Duet Front Loader Washer

Instructions

    Add a Garment
        1 Check to see if the "Add a Garment" light is lit on the Duet's display. The light will only be on during the first eight minutes of a washer cycle, when the function is usable.

        2 Press the "Pause/Cancel" button once to pause the washing cycle and unlock the door.

        3 Press the "Pause/Cancel" button twice to cancel the wash cycle if the "Add a Garment" light is not illuminated. Wait for the water to drain. The door unlocks once enough water has drained to enable you to safely open the washer door.

    Manual Unlock
        4 Unplug the washing machine.

        5 Remove the three screws securing the lower toe panel to the washing machine. The lower toe panel is the small rectangular panel underneath the washer's front door. Pull the panel off the washer once the three screws are removed.

        6 Reach up into the front panel of the washer. Feel for the teardrop-shaped tab in the washer's door latch assembly.

        7 Pull down on the tab until you hear a click. The click is the sound of the door unlocking.
