hoover HC6 120M not starting

Hi folks

Just for future referance can someone jusy enlighten me a little:)

Been to this one today not starting and sounds like it flled partway then stopped.

Unable to get door to lock up – cable type door interlock fitted. Live to center connection looks like neutral to outer (sleeved) wire as 240v between that and live – but when I put my tester between live and inner connection (double wires, sleeved) it puts the pump on.

I suspect this is door lock but was unable to prove cuz i wasn’t sure which connections to short out – instinct was telling me to two outer sleeved connections but I would have expected to have got a voltage difference between them but got nothing.

Now presumably the door lock is switching neutrals so does the computer have to sense the door lock is made before it compleets other circuits to switch m/c on?

Im confused because if that was the case they could do that with less load taking wires but looks like the m/c load goes through the interlock?

Or am I completely wrong?

Is there an easy way to test these machines without having to replace the interlock to find out?

Can the PCB or the slave timer stop the interlock from making?

If so is there an easyway to test which is causing the problem?

Have ordered the interlock as I had L and N there but not convinced this is the prob.

Comments and help appriciated – Thanks
