Possible Reasons for E:dL Error

• Faulty Door Lock: The door lock solenoid (the device that activates the lock) itself could be malfunctioning and unable to secure the door properly.
• Door Switch Malfunction: The switch that signals the washer control board if the door is locked might be faulty, giving an incorrect reading.
• Misaligned Door: In some cases, the door might be slightly misaligned and not making proper contact with the lock mechanism.
• Debris Obstruction: Objects like clothing or debris around the door opening could be preventing the door from closing completely.

Troubleshooting the error code E dL, E:dL

1. Simple Reset: First, try a simple reset by unplugging the washer for a minute and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes clear temporary glitches.
2. Check the Door: Ensure the door is closed firmly and there's no debris around the opening that might obstruct closure.
3. Inspect the Door Lock: Visually inspect the door lock for any visible damage. You can usually see the lock mechanism near the door hinge on the inside.
4. Consult the Manual: Your Speed Queen washer's user manual might have specific troubleshooting steps for the E:dL error. Refer to it for any recommended procedures.

Important Considerations:

• Don't Force the Door: Never force the door shut if it's not closing easily. This can damage the lock mechanism further.
• Advanced Troubleshooting: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it might involve checking electrical connections or replacing components like the door lock solenoid or switch. This is best left to a qualified appliance repair technician to avoid causing further problems.

Remember, if you're not comfortable troubleshooting electrical components or disassembling the washer, it's best to call a qualified appliance repair technician for a proper diagnosis and repair of the E:dL error.
