From the manual page 24:
'Door' is flashing in the display window...
?Shut the door firmly, until it clicks.
The symbol should now go out.

I suspect the door sensor has failed. It thinks you haven't closed the door, so it refuses to do anything at all. It's called a Door Interlock, it has a switch or sensor built into it.
First try unplugging the washer for 60 seconds and plugging back in to try to reset the controller. (Dry hands only!)

If the door interlock is a simple switch, you should be able to check it with an ohmmeter. I would check it first before buying a new one.

The part number is HPTC00085194 or C00085194, here are a couple places you can buy one. You can also find them on ebay.

My zanussi zwg 6141p washing machine is calling water at start of cycle but is not going into drawer to swill out detergent , is also stopping half way with the green light on the start button flashin
Some appliances malfunction can be displayed in hexadecimal or in binary code.
So your device is defective and shows you what's wrong. You have to count how many times flashes red light and how many times flashes green light. Red light shows the first error number and green light the second error number.
For example: you forgot to close the door and you started washing machine. After some time (timeout) will generate an alarm. Four times will flash red light and once the green light which means error code " E41 " or "Open door"
" E20 " means "No drain water"
" E10 " means "No fill up water"

F8 flashing as about to spin on every programme
F08 is a heater fault so although you may feel the machine has washed it probably has'nt.Check the heater, pressure switch and module for lose or brocken wires.

Hotpoint first edition washing machine door will not open after completing its full cycle
hi from the uk susan ? this is not uncommon and easily fixed if you are confident DIY ? and req's a little patience with a posi drive screwdriver if you want to save $$$$s on call out fee ? the problem is most probably the time delay switch which prevents door opening too soon after cycle/machine has finished and the light has gone off then door can be opened if you feel confident ? will help/instructions on how to rectify fault if you reply back ?

Hotpoint aquarius washer dryer wd63 1100 spin - my fuse went just as i was switching the machine on - so the door locked and wont open - changed the fuse, door was still locked so thought id let the wash...
Try buttons "dry" & "spin" together for a few seconds. This is 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..............And please rate me if helped

Hotpoint BWD129 1200 spin - unwanted drying cycles
This is more a workaround than a solution. When you choose the washing programme (say "D") and push the on/off button, two lights will flash, the "door locked" and the "drying" one. Now turn the "drying programme" button until the "drying" light stops flashing (in my case, this is true when I set the drying programme to 40°C). Then start the washing mashine.

Seems like the function of the drying programme button has shifted against the settings written on the button...don't ask me why! Of course, no guarantee but works for me. Please let me know if it does for you.
