Unlock Door

I washed a big blanket and heard the buzzer going off. Assuming it was off balance I went into the garage to fix it. However, I cannot open the door. I tried "cancelling" the cycle, starting it over, and even unplugging it. Nothing works. I cannot stop the buzzing and cannot open the door.

Good Morning bornagaininsd, thank you for your post!

Based on the symptoms you are describing, it appears your washer may possibly have a communication problem with the control board, wiring failure, or faulty door lock assembly. 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.
