Hello Stoneyd65, thank you for your post!

If your door is in the locked position, first reset the power to the unit for about one minute. Can you open the door? If so, the main control board may need replacing. If you cannot open the door, then the door switch assembly may need to be replaced. This is not a typical DIY job. I would recommend reaching out to an experienced appliance tech just to ensure no troubleshooting step has been missed. Parts are often costly and if the problem is precisely diagnosed, it can save you a lot of time and funds. I hope these troubleshooting tips help you in some small way.
