Error code dLO
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

dLO on a Whirlpool top load washer: an item in the load may be keeping the lid from locking. Check under the lid.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so dLO may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

An item in the load may be keeping the lid from locking.

What dLO tells you

A Whirlpool top load washer showing dLO has a lid that will not lock. Something caught in the load can stop the lid from latching. The dL entry on the display stands for a lid lock that fails to lock, or a lid lock failure.

What to look at

  1. Look for anything lying right below the lid.
  2. Inspect the area around the lid lock mechanism for built-up detergent.

Related codes

  • dU: the lid cannot unlock because of objects on top of the washer.
  • E4: the lid was opened during the spin cycle, on stacked laundry centers.
