What a Samsung Washer Technician Deals With

The washer will not run until the door is detected as closed and locked, and a latch problem or laundry caught in the door triggers the dC/dE/dS/dL/FL door codes. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
What Samsung Says to Check First
