These are three versions of this model. I guess you have one with the Askoll type motor (no separate 3 phase driver board on the machine).

If the test mode checks show no error and there is no motor action then check the plugs and wiring, if okay then the motor is most likely to be at fault followed by the front PCB.

I am not aware of a bench test procedure for this type of motor as it has the 3 phase driver board built in. This type of motor needs main power and serial data commands from the front pcb for it to work.

Are there any errors coming up in service mode?

Unlikely to be the main power card unless all the buttons are sluggish, in which case it could be either. Most likely dry joimts or a bad tact switch on the top pcb.

New lock is supplied unlocked /open and no impulse from module to lock it so machine will not run.
Old lock did not unlock at end of program so it is already closed/locked and the machine will work.
Sounds like no impules are arriving from module to change the state of the door lock.

[murv]

Check the door lock wiring back to the pcb, if okay it sounds like the pcb is at fault.

For 9 digit serial numbers the first digit is the least significant digit of the year so the (5) means 2005 or 2015.
The next 2 digits of the serial (01) is the month and the next 2 digits (12) is the day of the month.
So your serial means 12th January (2015 or maybe 2005 if it’s an old appliance)

Sounds like fan initiation thermostat may be shorted.

Could it be a BDwi640 if so the user manual states the following –
GLASS program indicator flashes. — The machine has sensed water in the base.
Hope this is of help

Definition: PCB not functioning.
As always there are various fault sub-codes attached to error 13 which can only be read with special software.
These include – No signal from door switch, pressure switch or heating element.

Maybe GDPR needs downgrading?
