dLO (dL) on a Maytag top load washer means the lid is not locking. Check under the lid and around the lid lock for build-up.
What this code means
dLO
dLO (dL) means the lid lock will not lock or has failed, so the lid is not locking.
What dLO means on a Maytag washer
On a Maytag top load washer, dLO shows when the lid is not locking. The display may read dL, which Maytag describes as a lid lock that will not lock or a lid lock failure.
What to check
An item from the load may be keeping the lid from locking, so look directly under the lid first. Then look around the lid lock mechanism for detergent build-up. If the lid still does not lock after both checks, the washer needs service.
Codes that look alike
- dU is the opposite problem: the lid cannot unlock because something is sitting on it.
- drn is a drain code on top load washers, not a lid code.
