Possible Solution

Was the washer just installed?

In some circumstances, your new washer may arrive with the door locked. This can occur from the normal shipping movement.

Were you using a "Fresh Hold" cycle (available on some models)?

When using one of these cycles, the door will remain locked until the cancel button is pushed. This is normal. If the washer does not unlock at the end of a wash cycle, unplug the appliance or disconnect power. Wait approximately 2 minutes for control to reset.
