HOW TO OPEN DOOR
IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE
Before opening the door as described below, refer to the
failure "Door will not unlock" in the "Troubleshooting" section.
The door may unlock by itself after the failure condition no
longer exists; however, if you want to take out your laundry
immediately, first try to unlock the door as described in Error
Code FdL or F29 in the "Troubleshooting" section.
If the door still cannot be opened, perform the following:
Before Opening Door:
• Turn off and unplug the washer.
• Close the water faucet.
• Wait until the drum has stopped rotating – never open the
door while the drum is in motion.
• Wait until water and laundry have cooled down when
washing with high temperatures.
Always drain the water before opening the door either by:
• Touching and holding the Power button until "rES" appears
on the display
or
• Following the instructions in the "Cleaning the Drain Pump
Filter/Draining Residual Water" section.
To Open Door:
1. Remove the screw.
2. Pull down on the strap marked "Door open." The door can
now be opened and the laundry removed.
