Try first

- Do not overload the drum.
Call a pro if
- The dC code keeps coming back after you have cleared the door and closed it firmly.
- The door or its latch looks damaged, or the door will not close or lock.
- Water is leaking from the machine, or the door will not open when the cycle has finished.
