Sometimes the error of DL shows mean door not locked , the signs of keys must be shown on the screen when it safely locked , all what you may do is ; try 3 more times to turn off electricity completely from the washing machine , then wait 10 seconds and try again , and don't try to push the door hardly just close it , then PUSH the door with your both hand (after closing it ) for 5 seconds , you will then see the display signs locked (key sign) and it will work normally .

Dl code

Hi,
"dl" indicates a door lock error. A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be unlocked. It will try to lock it 6 times before displaying the error.
Check for the following when dl occurs:
  • Door Lock Mechanism broken.

  • Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly for foreign objects

  • Check Wire Harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU)

  • Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure

Thank you !!

I have a Duet GHW9400PWO and it will not turn the water on. When I press the start button I am getting an error dL and then F and it just beeps.

Error DL sound like a door lock problem. The door latch lock assembly is all one part. If door doesn't lock a signal is sent to the main control telling it there is a problem. Thus the error code. Nothing will work till door locks. 3 screws hold the assembly in place, but you have to partially remove door boot to get the door latch out.

F dL symbol on Whirlpool duet HT

It is saying there is a problem with your door Lock. when you close the door does it hold like it use too? try to open and close the door if it doesn't really close properly then you will just need a door latch. If the machine gives you an f11 code then its the main computer board that can also give your the door lock error. I would check the door first though.
