Customer tells me the machines dead, power in but not locking, I havent got a interlock to test, so does anyone know the correct connections on the interlock plug so I can override and test before buying new lock in case not needed.
thanks JohnRe: Electrolux EWX14440
I’d advise everyone not to bypass a safety interlock device like this. Diagnostics will let you know last known error code. Surely a test meter will trace the fault anyhow .

Seamy, see your point, but cant diagnoise if dead. also meter can only check so much. john
Re: Electrolux EWX14440
When a customer says machine is dead it most likely means its not going, customers “dead” may mean it starts but doesn’t take in water or turn drum etc.
It may have supply just doesn’t start, pump may be jammed for instance, as for testing , multimeter testing will tell you loads of things, Service Force engineers by the way who work on this appliance u/g don’t work or test live.
P.C.B can be inspected with power off & burn marks are usually obvious if theres major damage.Re: Electrolux EWX14440
called today machine as stated totally dead, power into interlock but not engaging so back to org fault I perceived, ie interlock, so need to purchase before I can test fully.
Re: Electrolux EWX14440
Does the machine show any display at all? if it doesn’t I would doubt it’s the interlock.

It’s worth having pretty much all Lux locks in stock. They’re such a common problem area. Difficult to get any joy when trying to bypass the modern ones which have a solenoid inside.
My money’s on your lock is knacked and has blown the module(s). Look for a slight yellowing around the centre of the light grey plastic of the lock. If you see that, it’s even money you’ve got a BER. Charring builds up carbon around the little round heater inside and you get a direct short live to neutral through that carbon. Just like the old red Hpt locks, except with them you had a good chance of repairing the timer!
