What's Happening
The dryer door isn't closing or the door switch can't detect closure. Laundry caught in the door seal is the most common cause. A damaged latch or worn door switch can also trigger this. Related codes include dO, dF, and dC.
How to Fix It
Check that no laundry is caught in the door seal. Push the door firmly until it clicks. Inspect the latch for visible damage. If the latch clicks but the error remains, the door switch may be defective and need replacement.
