As soon as door is closed the lock mechanism unlocks and locks several times in succession. When I turn the power button and press start the lock does the same thing for a good minute and half, and then drum starts to turn but with no added water. The water begins about 3 minutes into the cycle.

I have the same symptoms, then i had a tech visit who replaced the internal door mechanisms which look like they were burn out.
After tech replaced the door mechanism, i still have the same symptoms. But after waiting 3mins after the cycle completion, i will turn off the machine which allows me to open the machine. It is not an omptimum solution but it works and saves me $700AUS buying a new machine. Hope this helps anyone. RB

ask a domestic appliance engineer to fit a new capacitor.

The machine has to reset to bringg tthe lock to release, check the link to the lock settings to make the program complete the cycle and release the lock. Do not force it as you end up damaging.

Your door interlock has failed & needs to be replaced.Usually the computer should come up with error code DE error,& if your machine's main p.c.b/computer may have been taken out also,If this is the case it will need to be rewired to fix the problem,hopefully it is just the door lock if not it may cost up to $500 dollars to repair.GOOD LUCK.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
(You can drain the water by the following)-
-------------------------------------
Here are my complete guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play!
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!
Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!
