Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to get your washing machine door opened...

Washing Machine Door Jammed

open the table top of the machine and release the door switch by any flat screw driver

To Unlock the hinge on an Ariston Oven Door

Lay the oven door flat on the worktop with the inner door upwards and the locked hinge facing you.

With a pair of pliers and a good grip on the hinge, force the locked hinge towards you (by pulling it open towards you) and keep it in position by flipping the U piece over.

Fitting the Oven Door

Fit the door to the oven with the metal receivers in the slots on the oven.

Once the receivers are in the slot, fully open the door (in a downward position).

Flip the U shaped pieces over to lock the hinges.

Strip the door and re-set the switch. Ensure the metal part of the catch on the machines main body is not distorted

I plugged it out. Left it for 15 minutes. When I went back the door could be opened and it also started to wash.

You will have remove top cover, and release door latch from inside the front, with a screw driver pushing against the latch to open door.
It does mean that you probably have a faulty door lock, or broken door handle.
Please rate my fixya solution.
Thanks

unplug it.
open the top lid.
reach down inside and feel a plastic sensor/release behind where the latch is.
towards the left center of that sensor, feel for a metallic manual release (you'll just feel the nub of it).
Push this in and to the side to manually release the door lock.
Call Ariston and complain about this common problem.

Try first to unplug the power cable. In case it will not help,you have to raise the top of the washer to get to the switch (near the door)and try to open it manually. If the problem will return,you should replace the switch. Good luck!
