Error Code DC
Your washer thinks the door is open, so it will not start or continue the cycle.
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: DC
What This Means
Door switch contact error from deformation of the door hook; Door pulled open by force during a cycle; Door pushed open during Boil wash due to pressure difference from internal temperature changes; Door lock switch terminal connected incorrectly; Door lock switch terminal is broken; Intermittent electric wire leakage; Main PCB fault
What actually causes this:
The door is not fully latched, or something is preventing it from closing completely — like a piece of clothing caught in the seal.
First Thing to Check
Open the door, check that no clothing is caught in the rubber gasket around the opening, then close the door firmly until you hear it click.
