Bosch WFB2004GB/16 door interlock

[colint]

Hi
I think I have a dodgy door interlock. Sometimes the power light comes on, but the wash/fill won’t start. Is it possible to repair, clean or lubricate the interlock? It seems to be sticking, but looks like a sealed unit…

Thanks!

Nope, no adjustments – just buy THIS.

Power off first, of course.

Also make sure your door pecker is also in alignment with the interlock hole.

Those hinge supports will wear and the hinges are prone to bending over time causing the pecker to drop and not catch properly all the time. if so, replace along with interlock

Thanks, might replace as you suggest. The door has dropped slightly, so I guess that might have caused the interlock to start to stick. Pecker lines up fine if I raise the door slightly when closing.

The door seems pretty hard to close, almost as if the door seal is too thick, but I’ve checked that it’s properly seated — any ideas why that might be, or is it normal?

Thanks

The part has arrived, thanks. Power is off 🙂

It’s a bit different to the one in the machine. The old part had electrical terminals numbered 1N, 2C and 3L, and the text on the part says 2C and 3L are used in closing. (1N is white, 2C orange and red, 3L brown wire).

The new part’s terminals are numbered 1, 2, 3 and the text on the part says 2 and 3 are used in closing, but the terminals are positioned in a different sequence.

Presumably the numbers indicate the correct connection, so I’ll put the wires on the terminals with the same number as the old part?

Thanks
