The washer door has a safety feature to prevent burns.
For example, if the washer is paused during the hot wash portion of
a SANITIZE cycle, the interior temperature of the drum wilt be very
hot, so the door will not unlock. This is normal. Allow the washer to
coot until the DOOR LOCK indicator turns OFF on the display.
To drain the water, cycle the POWER OFF/ON, then press the SPIN

This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time automatically to
provide optimal results for the selected cycle. The time remaining
shown in the display is only an estimate. Actual time may vary.
