LeyMy Hoover 1400 AAA nextra washing machine is leaking water. I left it on when I went out and the floor was flooded on my return. It appears that tha seal around the drum is crinkled. The last wash contained 2 bath mats and these were washed at 90 degrees. The machine had moved out of position and the powder drawer was open. The water seems to be coming from underneath the machine.

The outer plastic casing around the drum was cracked by change left in a pocket. I fixed it with a secondhand casing

I found the basic instructions that came with the washing machine and found that you need a screwdriver to undo a screw to remove the filter cover. I then gradually released the filter cover to empty the water out of the machine in small quantities into a shallow tray. I was then able to remove the filter and clear it of 2 x 20p pieces and a load of gunk. I then removed the 'washable' floormat from the drum as the rubber backing from the mat was crumbling and probably not helping the filter. Filter cleaned and cover screwed back in, mat in the bin, and everything working fine since.

I did try ringing the customer support number and after pressing loads of keys to select appropriate options; confirming my address, postcode, name, date of birth, email address, mothers maiden name, what the kids had for breakfast etc, I was allowed to ask how to get the filter cover off. Apparently this is a technical query and would involve arranging an engineer to call. I declined this very kind service option and opted for a screw driver, common sense and a positive attitude. Worked for me! No blood shed, a tiny bit of sweat whilst trying to get through on phone, and only tears of joy when I fixed it all by myself.

SOURCE: cannot open door and lock light stays on

It has a timer circuit that locks the door with a selenoid. It has a sprig that pulls the safety latch back off of the latch. Either it isn't turning the power off or the spring is broken or too dirty with soap and wont work right. Try pulling the power and see if that works. If not got to take front cover off and check it out.
