F22 on a front load washer is a door lock matter, often tied to closure, buildup or load size.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F22 indicates a front door lock issue on front load washers.

F22 at a glance

A problem with the front door lock. Work through the list below.

  • Door shut? It has to close completely. Clear clothing or shipping material away from the latch.
  • Lock dirty? Detergent, fabric softener and other wash media can collect around the lock. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth when needed.
  • Big load? Look for items poking out beyond the opening. The drum needs space for tumbling, and a full basket can stop the door closing. Take some items out.

See also

  • F24: too much laundry for the program, or too much inlet water
  • F21: a drain problem
  • F20: no water or insufficient water supply
