Effects
The door lock doesn't properly close or the door lock sensor is not sending the proper message to the washer machine controls.
Identification
The E27 error flashes on the washer LCD screen and stops the current load. Unplug your washer for 30 minutes and then plug it back in to reset the code.
Considerations
Open and close the door two or three times to reset the sensor. Sometimes the door has been closed too hard and the sensor reading fails.
Prevention/Solution
Replace the door lock assembly on the washer. Refer to your washer manual for the correct part numbers.
