To have a persistent dL looked at, reach (415) 223-7887 and ask about LG washer repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Have the code, your washer’s model number and the cleaning and unplugging steps you completed ready.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so dL may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
dL on an LG top-load washer means the door locking mechanism is not functioning, so the washer will not run with the door closed.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
