Boil wash cycle causes door errors from internal pressure changes
During the Boil wash cycle, internal temperature changes create pressure differences that can push the door outward, triggering a dE (door error). This is a known characteristic of the Boil wash feature, not necessarily a door lock fault. If dE only occurs during Boil cycle, check the pressure seal rather than replacing the door lock.
