blomberg wash machine door locked shut

hi, firstly i appologise for the long post.
i have a 1503As wash machine & the other day it stopped mid cycle and i noted some burned out tracks, one to pin 2 on the last connector on the LHS from the front. Anyway, i bridged these and all worked fine until the end of a wash cycle where there was a pop some smoke and the house fuse box tripped. i found a burnt out track from the capacitor between the two timer/control modules and the main ac track. I bridged this and the machine works fine. HOWEVER, the door is permanently locked. If i select short spin, the machine ticks round to it, starts pumping, spins a few times then for about 3 minutes then the timer continues to the stop position BUT the door remains locked.
Looking at previous threads, i think maybe the lock has had water leak onto it and fused as the inside was wet. Is there a way to override this lock as its very hard to get to and i can easily access the 3 wires which go to the last connector – i noted one is permanent 220VAC and the other two presumably switch the solenoid. I tried shorting them to earth 1 at a time – 1 of them tripped the house fuses and tried tying them to 220vac one at a time – no effect at all. I moved & live in Turkey and its impossible to get a decent technician to help me out here and decent new machines cost 400gbp plus !!!! do i have to break the door open ????? or can i lever off the mechanism ??? also there is a square apperture in it, is this a manuall release ????
Please Help
