Ben for Model Number maytag mfw9800tq0

I have been getting a random F11 error for the last few months, All the wires and connections seem fine, but my last load ended during a spin cycle (whole thing rocks and vibrates a great deal) with a F11 and DL error. Now I get a DL error on any start attempt. I hear the door lock and it is locked but the washer keeps trying to lock the door until it errors out. I have read conflicting advice about trying a door lock switch or a cpu. What advice do you give?

Answer

Hello Ben, The door lock mechanism is comprised of more than one switch and a solenoid. You must be aware that if the door is locking but you still get the DL code, the other internal switch that tells the control that the door is closed and locked can be bad. In this case the control does not recognize that the door is closed and the unit will pop the code signifying that the door is not locking. I would replace the door lock assembly WP8182634.
