What Door will not lock
actually means.
The laundry machine locks the door before filling. If the door is not closed properly the lock cannot engage and this message appears. Miele's first step is simply to close the door again and restart.

What to do when Door will not lock shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeControls and power
The controller itself is reporting trouble, or the supply behind it is: a display with dead segments, a keypad that stopped responding after steam or degreaser got behind it, relays that stick, stored recipes or cycles that vanished overnight, a blown control fuse, or one leg of a three-phase feed missing so half the heat or the pump is gone. A full power cycle at the breaker, done as the manual describes, clears a passing glitch; a code that returns, a scorched smell or any sign of moisture behind the panel means the breaker stays off, and that is a visit.
Usually leads toCommercial controls and board repair
Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so.
