What does dU mean on a Bravos XL washer?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

If you see the code “dU” on the display of your Bravos XL washer, it means that the lid of the washer cannot be unlocked. This code is displayed when the washer detects that there are objects on the lid, preventing it from unlocking properly.

To resolve this issue, you will need to remove any objects that are on top of the washer lid. Common objects that can cause this problem include a basket of laundry or any other items that may have been placed on top of the washer.

Once you have removed the objects from the lid, try to unlock the washer again. This can usually be done by pressing the “Pause/Cancel” button on the control panel. If the lid still does not unlock, you may need to manually unlock it.

To manually unlock the lid, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Unplug the washer from the power source to ensure your safety.
2. Locate the small round hole on the front of the washer, just below the lid. This is the manual release access point.
3. Insert a small object, such as a screwdriver or a pen, into the hole and push it gently. This will activate the manual release mechanism and unlock the lid.
4. Once the lid is unlocked, you can open it and remove any remaining objects that may be causing the issue.
5. After removing the objects, close the lid and plug the washer back in.
6. Start a new cycle to see if the issue has been resolved.

If the problem persists or if you are unable to manually unlock the lid, it is recommended to contact a professional technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and fix the issue more effectively.

If you see the code “dU” on your Bravos XL washer, it means that the lid cannot be unlocked due to objects on top of it. Removing these objects and manually unlocking the lid should resolve the issue. If not, it is best to seek professional help.
