Step-by-Step DIY Fix Guide
- SAFETY: No safety risk.
- Locate the keylock button or combination on your model (consult the owner's manual — it varies by model).
- Press and hold the keylock button for 3–5 seconds until the lock indicator disappears.
- Controls should now respond normally.
If the door warning comes back
- If the door closes normally but the warning keeps returning, the latch or switch path becomes more likely than a simple alignment issue.
- If airflow still seems weak after the basic checks, the fan path or a deeper obstruction becomes more likely.
- The keylock indicator does not clear after holding the button for 5 seconds
