DOOR OPEN in short
The GE Profile UltraFast Combo washer/dryer shows DOOR OPEN when someone presses start while the door sits ajar. The fix is to push the door shut fully and press start again.
Why nothing runs
As long as the door is not completely closed, the Combo declines to begin another cycle. Close it properly and it can run.
