Fixing A Kenmore Oasis/Whirlpool Cabrio Washer That Is Displaying A DL Error!

In this video I show to fix a kenmore elite oasis/whirlpool cabrio washer that is displaying a DL code. The video goes into detail on how to replace the door lock mechanism as well as discussing other reasons for the DL code. The DL code occurs when there is an issue with the door lock mechanism of a washer. The model used in the video is a Kenmore Elite Oasis model# 110.28062800 . The lid lock is part number W10059230. This video is part of my series "Free On Facebook" a series of videos in which I repair, reuse, and recycle things I find for free!

Thanks for this video! Your guidance helped me fix my washer without any issues - appreciate it!

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Great to hear!

[@jbb297]

Thank you! This saved me so much money just buying the part and installing it myself. You rock!

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Glad I could help!

Your welcome!

Thank you for this video, I have a similar washer but the drain pump doesn't work... do you have a part number for that? or a place you recommend I get it from. thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for this video. I have a du code on this same machine that won't shut off. So I can't even get to set up the diagnostic cycle! du is door unlock? But it is unlocked already. Nothing will stop this code, no unplugging, even shut off breaker. It just comes back to du. Have had repair man replace the door sensor once a few years back. Cannot afford that again! So, is there any way of clearing this code before replacing the part or it won't clear until the part is replaced? I really wanted to do a diagnostic before replacing the part. I'm doing this myself. I did clear it for 5 min once when I held down the start and stop buttons together. But the du code came back after re starting a wash. And it won't clear now doing that action.

My washer started showing the DL code, then went to DU. I replaced the lid lock as you did in this video but the DU error is still there. Any idea where to go next?

[@rtholbrook1]

Good video on how to replace it but, It was an assumption a replacement of the lid lock would work. To save some time if it wasn’t the switch, I would remove console and swap the lid lock switch connector temporarily and raise the lid , then insert it in the catch to test your concept. Just an idea!

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Good idea! Yes I typically do that type of testing off camera to diagnose the problem without exposing the viewers to methods that might not be safe (electricial/mechanical hazards)

Wondering if the big dent on front of machine had anything to do with the DL code. The dent was near the lid lock mechanism and may have damaged it. Maybe?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

That I possible but nothing seemed mechanically damaged in the mechanism I believe the solenoid burned out

[@bobbigemmell728]

I have a Kenmore connect front loader & have a drain pump problem but now the code just reads AAA and can't hit anything else then I have a question about a Della mini washer the order the wires go into each plug so both washer and dryer work together, I got it from a friend and only dryer spin worked & a cpl wires were disconnected so now my washer works bit not dryer spinner

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Honestly, I very seldomly work on front loaders. They are too heavy and often times too expensive to repair.

[@bobbigemmell728]

@@DuctTapeMechanicwell I need a rain pump I can Install that but what does the AAA CODE mean

[@veronicamateos653]

Hi there! I was wondering if you have a video on how to fix the control panel if the DL code is still on after replacing lock mechanism?

[@thomaskolthoff7546]

I have a speed queen washer it makes a grinding noise on the spin cycle what could that be?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Sorry I don't have that much experience working on Speed Queens (which goes to show that they are great machines!)

[@thomaskolthoff7546]

Thanks for the quick response to my question , like your videos

[@Monotarian]

Tub bearing on that SQ

[@TheMiluv4u]

Thanks for the video. Where can we buy the parts?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

I would search the part number on Amazon

[@sarahbeara1018]

Thank u. Does this work on the elite as well?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Your welcome! Yes it should

[@ashleycrosson3761]

Anyway to bypass the lock all together? This would be our second time replacing it.

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Unfortunately, you can't bypass the lid lock on these models

My washer is blinking after calibration. The sensing wash. And done
