Door Lock/Latch Assembly
This assembly uses a solenoid to actuate a mechanical slider that captures the door strike. Failure occurs when the solenoid coil develops high resistance or the plastic sliding mechanism binds, preventing the return spring from retracting the pin at the end of the cycle. Without the mechanical state change of the internal microswitch, the system cannot confirm an 'unlocked' status.

Main Control Board
The main PCB contains the door lock drive circuit and relays. If the specific relay responsible for the unlock pulse suffers from contact pitting or the driver transistor fails, the lock assembly will never receive the electrical signal required to actuate the solenoid, leaving the door physically locked.

Water Level Pressure Sensor
The appliance firmware employs a safety lockout if the tub is perceived to be holding water. If the pressure sensor fails with a 'high' frequency output (indicating water is present), the control board will refuse to initiate the unlock sequence to prevent potential flooding, even if the tub is actually empty.
