Troubleshooting and Repair - F22 Error Code - WFW9200SQ00
The F22 error is displayed when the door lock mechanism has attempted to lock the door at least 6 times with no success. This is most commonly caused by a failed door lock assembly. It could be other things like something in the way of the lock bolt engaging, a wiring issue or it could be the lock circuit in the main control board. Try and reset the control by unplugging the washer for a minute. If after plugging it back up the problem continues just replace the door lock mechanism since that is the most common issue. You can order the door lock assemlby from the link below, the page also shows how to change it out.

Whirlpool Duet ht- WFW9600TW Hi, I believe my washing machine door lock mechanism needs to be replaced. I got the error message and unable to open the door with the laundry still inside. How can I release the door manually to remove the items inside? Your assistance is very much appreciated. Best regards, Daisy
- Answered By MasterTech
Hello Daisy,
To manually open the door:
To open the door manually:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Remove the lower kick panel.
3. Reach up along the inside of the front and locate the bottom of the door switch/lock unit.
4. Located on the bottom of the door switch/lock unit is a tear-drop shaped tab.
5. Gently pull the tab down about a ¼” or until a click is heard.
6. The door should be opened.

- Asked By Jacob Stevens
I replaced the locking mechanism but i am still getting the flashing F-22 alarm. I looked at the wires and none of them were loose. I am missing the latches on the inside of the door that the locking mechanism connects too. Could that be the issue of why it is still flashing the alarm?
- Answered By MasterTech
Yes, you need to replace the latch if it's missing if the door is not locking correctly the control will not allow a cycle to start and will give the error you are getting.
