## What E2 actually means.

E2 means the door lock did not work when the program tried to start.

ASKO washer display

What to do when E2 shows on the washer

### Kind of code Door and lid lock

The control cannot confirm that the door or lid is locked, or cannot release it. A latch that does not reach the lock, a bent strike or water still in the tub is looked at before the lock assembly.

### Usually leads to Door lock and lid switch repair

A washer that will not start, will not spin or will not let go of the door, repaired at the lock, the lid switch or the striker.

### Shows up as Washer Not Starting

The panel lights up but pressing start does nothing, or the washer shows no sign of power at all.

### Make ASKO

Swedish-designed 24-inch front-load washers, sized for closets and often stacked under an Asko dryer.

## Questions about E2.

### Can I clear E2 myself?

Turn the washer off and on again. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does the Steel Seal door make E2 more likely on an Asko?

The manual does not say so. It treats E2 as a lock that did not engage, with a restart as the first step.

### What is the difference between E2 and "Unable to lock door" on an Asko?

The text message asks you to open and firmly close the door; the numbered E2 is a lock problem that persists after a restart.
