    Hi
    My WM64 did a wash Ok but the door would not open. I had to release the lock from the inside to remove the washing.
    After opening up the door switch I noticed quite alot of internal damaged in the form of arcing marks and burn damage on one of the metal contacts.
    I have now replaced the door lock switch but the machine will not work.
    The light on the front does not light either although their is power to the machine. I have checked that the switch is connected correctly.

    Can anyone please offer any advice as to what might be the problem.

    Thank You
    Dave

    blown or faulty door interlock us usually caused by a fault on the timer board on these machines. the comfirmation of a faulty board is bunrt tracks on the board and/or burnt edge connectors. cure is replace board/timer and door interlock.
    POWER OFF of course if you decide to check the timer/board.

    Yep you were right,the board is indeed burnt out.
    Looks like the machines a right off.
    Going to check price of a new board but I guess Itll be around £100.

    Many Thanks for your advice
