when to get help
- do not force a door that remains locked, bypass the lock or treat burning smells or continued abnormal heating as normal cool-down.
steps
- confirm drying has completed
these models can tumble intermittently without heat for up to four hours after drying. do not apply that explanation to a machine that is still heating or showing a fault.
- end the completion phase
once drying is complete, press start/pause to end this phase. wait for the drum to stop and the lock to release before removing the clothes; the guide allows a two-to-three-minute unlocking delay.
