How do I unlock my Whirlpool LHW0050 washer's door?
I did a load of laundry yesterday afternoon in my Whirlpool LHW0050 front loading washer and the door is still locked and won't let me get my clothes out. The two options in the troubleshooting section of the manual are - 1. wait two minutes or 2. set it to rinse and spin. I have definitely waited more than two minutes. I waited with the power on, I waited with the power off. The door is still locked. I tried setting it to rinse and spin, but it never lets water in. I tried setting it just to spin and it sounds like it is draining, but isn't spinning. (I tried spin yesterday and it drained and then maybe spun. Then the done light blinked rather than glowed and it still wouldn't let me in.) I tried setting it to wash, but it won't let water in. I thought maybe it wasn't level, but it is level. I tried letting the water out of the lint trap, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Note: Yesterday morning I did two loads of laundry without any issues.

2 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoWhy don't people just google before they ask questions here?
For a lot of questions, it takes less time to perform a google search than it does to ask a question here and wait for a response. Why bother asking here? Do people like to have others do the 30 seconds of work for them? Do people just ask questions to get a human response rather than an automated one?
I'm genuinely curious about this phenomenon.
