Current Part NumberDC34-00026B
Common Symptoms
- Door-lock indicator does not appear or continues flashing after the door is closed.
- Washer will not begin a cycle even though the controls are powered.
- Washer may stop during a cycle with the door remaining locked.
- Door-lock-related error messages may occur, although these can also result from door alignment, residual water, wiring, or control faults.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the selected cycle has ended and that the washer has fully drained; Samsung notes that the door may remain locked while water is detected inside.
- Verify that Child Lock is not engaged and allow the washer a short delay to release the lock after draining or cancellation.
- With power disconnected, visually inspect the door strike, latch opening, and lock housing for visible damage, obstruction, lint, or misalignment; do not force the door.
- Check that the door closes squarely and that the latch enters the lock opening without excessive play or visible interference.
- Before condemning the switch, have a qualified technician check the door-lock wiring, connector seating, and control-side circuit according to the washer service documentation.
Pro Tip
A door that remains locked is not by itself proof that DC34-00026B has failed; first confirm that the washer has drained and that the door, latch, wiring, and control circuit are not preventing normal lock release or confirmation.
