Close the door all the way and try to start again. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How do I clear Er dl on my Speed Queen? Open the door or unplug the washer. Then close the door firmly and start again. ### Er dl keeps showing on my Speed Queen. What next? If a fully closed door still does not lock, the lock needs testing, so book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Speed Queen washer showing Er dl | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/speed-queen-er-dl/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
