Can someone explain? It doesn’t make sense to me because all motion has ceased and the drum is cold. I’m sure there must be a good reason, I just can’t work out what it is :conf: December 2, 2009 at 4:01 pm #305484 iadomModerator Re: General question about door lock delays Door interlocks 😉 Some machines such as our ISE 10 have a solenoid operated door interlock which is more expensive but does open virtually as soon as the drum stops revolving, most use the bi metal type though.
