    My mom just called me over upset her washer died. Crying that she will have to buy a new one. I got on TH-cam and looked up the code, found your video and followed along. And sure enough it fixed it. You sir are a hero and this lady thanks you.

    Thank you! Your easy-to-follow instructions made this repair simple. Within 10 minutes the machine was back up and running. I was hero of the house (at least for another 10 minutes!).

    I had taken the switch apart earlier looking for the problem to jump out at me. Figured I needed a new switch and ordered one for about $18. Then found your video and the obvious knocked me in the forehead! I immediatly removed, fixed and reinstalled switch and voila! It worked! I cancelled the order and saved $18! Thanks!!!!

    Sir, you are basically a Saint. Thank you VERY much for this DIY fix, even I could do it! However ... I got your fix done, closed the door, and immediately the door wouldn't open again, yikes -- then I realised that I hadn't plugged the washer power cord back into the wall, thankfully once I got it plugged in the door opened just fine and the washer worked as you described!

    Thank you so much! You saved me so much time and money! Addon.. a closer look at the second contact underneath the one I had to bend up to make the connection, there was a round puck covered in some black stuff. I had to clean that puck and the bar holding it in. I've lived with this error for years and now it's fixed! Thanks to you!

      @@inzombnia616 Remove the safety, and the cover I only put a rubber to join the two sheets so that they would make contact, I assembled it again and it worked perfectly, but it is only for emergency, because if there are children they can open the door, as was the end of week and on Monday I bought it in a store that sells spare parts for washing machines, I bought the original spare part, it is not very expensive, it is easy to change it, you just have to remove the ring that secures the round rubber on the outside and voila, just remove the two screws that hold it, remove the patch with the cables and that's it. assemble everything in reverse.

    Watch the pins, use a flat blade like a fingernail file or knife vs flat screw driver. They are delicate.

It is behind the springed hatch on the door lock. Love to see a vid that shows a close-up of how to release this latch.

    My Samsung front load dryer is a different model and 10 years old. The controls and display is on the front. My dryer has EXACT same problem. Logically, it should work if dryer has same symptoms. Took the lid off (2 screws). Controller board is located front left side. Removed and reconnected all connectors, tapped on the 2 black relay switches, closed everything backup, crossed my fingers and plugged it back in. Tested the display buttons and the door. IT WORKS NORMAL AGAIN! Problem solved. Will see how long it lasts. If it continues to fail then I will consider new circuit board. Thank you so much! Either it had loose/bad connector or relay gets worn and hung up.

It doesn't make any noise like it's trying to lock when I try to start it. Do you think the door lock is still my issue??
