    Hi

    We have a Hotpoint Ultima 1400 WM76 Washing Machine

    We often get an error message “close door” when starting even though the door is closed

    We have found that by slamming the door harder the machine will start

    Gradually the amount of slamming required is increasing and I am sure this cannot be doing the machine much good

    Is this a sign that something in the door mechanism needs replacing? We fitted a new door seal a few months ago but it made no difference

    Any suggestions gratefully received

    The door interlock may be getting tired. This requires attention/replacement because if the contacts fall apart inside it it may short and blow the timer/module. Unplug before checking :zap:

    Regards
    Simon.

    Thanks for your help

    Can you tell me what it looks like, where is it and how to test it?

    I’ve found the Door Interlock

    How can I test it?

    You don`t really need to test it , just replace it. You can order it here if you go to Shop@ on the left of this page , then washing machine spares , then door interlocks , the one you want is 1602390.
    Sorry but the link direct to this part doesn`t appear to be working (for me anyway 🙂 )

    Power off of course :zap:
