    Is E8 an interlock problem? This machine was washing OK but coming up with an error code when it got to the rinse. I think this was down to sand in the pump. I drained it through the small drain hose at the front and spun the washing so it could be removed. With the filter cap removed I could see the pump was now turning. I could not get the door open so had to loosen the front panel and operate the lever on the interlock manually. The door would now open using the button but the machine would not start any programme and the rinse light would start flashing after a few seconds, together with an 8 in the time delay display.
    thanks, Phil

    Hi
    I think you on the right lines there, its saying the door is open so interlock,catch or communication.

    Thanks gegsy, I ended up being given the machine, as the customer preferred to buy new rather than wait for parts :rolls: I think it probably just needs a new door button cable as I can’t get it to work so that it will open the door AND allow the interlock to lock, I can only get one or other to work. I needed to get it working for my own use so I set it up so the door could be opened and bypassed the interlock.
    The interlock has 3 wires, all purple and all the same thicknes. The interlock tags are numbered 2 to 4, not marked with letters. I therefore used a test screwdriver to find live and a multimeter to then find neutral. I was surprised to find the voltage on the interlock was only 187 volts. The machine seems to work OK but is this correct?

    Thanks again Greg, I am now even more confused, having seen the circuit diagram. It looks as though the interlock switches the neutral rather than live. If that were the case it should have gone bang when I attempted to bypass the interlock. Assuming the middle tag was switched live I linked it to the permenant live tag. I did a wash this morning with it like that and it worked fine 😕 I will check again with the test screwdriver to see if the middle tag is live when the interlock is locked.
