I had the same problem, off and on for months. We walked through several of the solutions offered on this site with only slightly good results. Finally, we decided to bite the bullet and buy a new lock assembly. When my husband took off the front panel to install it, he noticed that the small electronic switch connection in the door lock assembly was not pushed all the way down so that the connection was tight. He "clicked" it in, put the front panel back on, and the unit locks and starts every time now!
Perhaps simply checking the tightness of the internal gadgets would save everyone some bucks!
There is a very small chance the door latch is bad.My opinion with this model is your control board may be out.If your door does click in when you close it then the lock will will activate by the control board.If it wont click shut at all then of course it wont be able to lock.In this case you do have to change the "Door Latch Assembly".
