How to narrow it
Distinguish a door that is physically open, a latch that will not engage, a control-lock setting, and a door that appears closed but is not recognized. Do not force the door or defeat any lock. Clear visible laundry from the seal only when the washer is stopped, then match the complete code. A code that returns after one normal close-and-retry step should be treated as a lock-system boundary, not proof of one failed part.
