When i Press start the washing machine clicks a few times then red padlock light comes on. Door interlock changed but still happening. Any help appreciated.

Does the door open once there is water in the machine? If so you need to get the sensor interlock replaced. This can usually be done by a local repair service.

Probably a fault with the lock or latch; should be no problem for an engineer to fix. Just try giving the door a firm push to close it, to see if the padlock light comes on.

It thinks the door is still open

So either it is or the door interlock switch is broken

Hi brennanjodi
I think your door interlock needs replacing. Turn off the power undo the front of the door gasket and that will get you to the lock mechanism. They're about £20 to replace.

Try buttons "dry" & "spin" together for a few seconds. This could be the child lock display.

Or press "end of cycle" for over 3 seconds.

Or press "options & select" till the light goes off.

Works for other machines..............

 
Ok, this is the fix:


No payload. Close the door. Press off, then press on. Then enter a program starting by selecting the fabric and the others as usual. Do not press start, instead press the slip button to advance the programme to the very last phase, ie drain and empty. Then press start. It will perform this operation with no load and pump out the “no water”. This part takes 5 minutes. After the 5 mins the programme will end and the machine will beep annoyingly, but the computer will be reset and you can clear the program and use the machine as normal.


Why?


I had the same problem. The stupid computer inside remembers the program whilst it’s off and unplugged. What has happened is you accidently pressed start and start again to pause it in very quick succession. This confuses the computer and it thinks that a program is in progress. This is why it wants to close the door. There is no problem with the latch (unless it is a separate problem). You have to let it play out a program to reset it, which is why you can play the very last “drain” segment.


Question.


Presumably there’s a way to reset the computer either by a secret button combo or shorting out two pins from the computer box. I don’t know. If someone knows this please tell me.


Good Luck!


 

IT MIGHT BE EASY FOR YOU TO GET TO THE DOOR LOCK FROM THE TOP OF THE MACHINE.IF YOU HAVE REMOVED THE 2 SCREWS HOLDING THE LOCK IN PLACE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT HANGGING FROM THE TOP ITS BEST YOU HAVE A NEW LOCK ON HAND TO REPLACE IT.IF ALL FAILS BEST YOU SEEK THE HELP OF A TECHNICIAN.LET ME NO IF YOU NEED EXTRA ASSISTANCE.GOODLUCK.MOHAMED

If its not the door interlock then the only other possible thing is the control module has failed ....

it does happen on zanussi machine.. is it making a cliicking noise the door interlock.... when you press start .... like click click....

if so then most likely its the control board inside the machine
