Have been asked to look at a comercial machine in a local launderette.
I am a bit wary as i have never done one before.Am i right in thinking that they have electrical door inter locks as the fault reported is “door.” constantly displayed and no action from the machine.
I have not been to it yet so any info is sketchy.

Re: comercial machines
if it is something like an ipso machine , they have hefty interlocks with microswitches on them . if the door gets slammed continually , this can bend operating levers out of position , preventing the striker hitting the switch . once removed, it is usually quite obvious how the sequence of latching should go , and should be easy enough to adjust back to working .
Re: comercial machines
If it is a Maytag front loader the door can drop on the hinges and the door does not locate on the plunger of the door switch at the top of the door aperture. Readjustment of the hinges usually fixes it.

Thanks guys,I have been told it is a Girbau.
Interesting reading on their website.I’ll get to see it on Monday,evidently it’s been playing up for months and yes they just kept slaming the door harder.

I haven’t worked on any of these units , but they look like the interlock set up may be the same style as the ipso . good luck and let us know how it goes 😀
Re: comercial machines
Hi chezza. the doorlock operates on a cam, which allows a push road to move in the locked position.This then allows a spring to push a metal contact against a micro switch,the metal contact was bent and witha minor tweak it is now up and running.
Thanks for your input
Steve
