door locking light flashes, therefor the cycle won't start.

I thought the problem may be with the door locking mechanism, so fitted another one (with your instructions, thank you) but the light still flashes. Originally the door wouldn't open after a washing cycle. I did wait, tried a different setting, but still wouldn't open. I did eventually open with a lot of tugging etc. Now I have the reverse problem and it won't lock, but the door does shut and open. Do I need new brushes?

    In that case depending on model check if it has brushes and are they worn out. If the brushes are OK it could be a module fault and you will need an Engineer as these have to be programmed. If this is the case contact Repaircare for a fixed price quote.

  • I fitted a new door lock thismorning. The door not opening after a cycle was the original problem, but managed to get door open. Then the next wash the cycle wouldnt start, as door lock was flashing. So fitted a new one thismorning, but still the door locking light is flashing. Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear in original post. By B Willis - East Sussex - 13 August 2015

    The original fault suggests it may have been brushes but you may have damaged the door lock and that may now need replacing as well.
