Nothing else will appear to be happening with the machine during this time.
So the first thing you ll want to do is just unplug the washer for 60 seconds and see if the latch will reset.
If the washer does not unlock at the end of a wash cycle unplug the appliance or disconnect power.
Run a drain and spin cycle.
Wait approximately 2 minutes for control to reset.

This happened when i forgot to turn the water on.
The door should unlock after 60 seconds.
If the control locked light will not turn off i recommend unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
If that doesn t work leave the washer plugged in for 20 minutes and it should unlock.
The washer will go into a hold and drain routine for 8 minutes.
This is all it will do.
Plug the unit back in and see if the controls will respond.

If it does not detect both water supply hoses are turned on the control detects a problem with the water pressure sensor.

First it had a code blinking that i looked up and it was for the water so i turned it on and now it is making a humming noise and the door is locked and that is all it will do.
When the lock light is blinking it typically means that the unit either took to long to fill with water in which case it ll go into flood mode and keep draining for 15 20 minutes and unlock on it s own or there is a glitch in the electronics and just unplugging it for 60 seconds will reset the issue.
You could have a failed control console or a bad electronic control board in the washer.
This washer has sensors that detect the water supply and requires both hoses to have water going to the water valve.
Reconnect power to washer plug in.
