Candy Alise EVO W 6863 D – Flashing Door Light

[tired-boy]

All of a sudden the machine has stopped working, there’s been no bang, no smoke, no issues up until now.

We loaded up the washer closed the door and selected a washing cycle but the flashing light showing that the door is open continues to flash whereas it would normally stop flashing after a few seconds, stay solidly on and start the cycle. The counter begins to count down as if the cycle has begun but the door lock symbol continues to flash and the door remains unlocked.

We have tried every washing cycle option as well as the dryer cycles and we have the same problem regardless. I’ve unplugged everything and taken the top off the washer and I can’t see any noticeable loose wires or ‘burnt/blackened’ areas.

looking forward to your suggestions…..

Is there anything you can recommend that I could try or check before purchasing parts?
Im a complete novice at this – go easy on me

brushes are the first thing (if your machine has them)

if you find them (back of motor) and tap them firmly with a screw driver. Then try machine see if it goes

if yes you need new brushes if no you will need to take the brushes off to check them
