Case from Warsaw
Client in Wilanów: Samsung — door clicks but won’t engage, error dE. Bimetallic plate deformed, not heating enough to lock. Replaced interlock. Test — locks in 3 seconds, unlocks after 1 minute. 25 minutes. Tip: if the lock clicks but doesn’t hold, it’s the interlock — don’t try pressing the door with your knee.
