Must be mechanical door problem (handle/spring), interlock, lock wiring or PCB.

If the PTC or plastic supports short out then the lock triac usually takes a hit.

Surely if the triac was blown ,, no operation of D/L

Correct, if the door locks then the locking triac is likely to be ok.
Sounds like a short somewhere else in the machine which would only blow when the lock thermal switch closes.
Any damage visible on the new board?
