Suggest checking for a faulty heater. Regards Engineer

I would say the control has gone bad.

if it looks like a big yellow rubber band, it will stretch to fit being rubber if you heat it up by repeated quick stretching it will be easier to assemble

what 2 lights are flashing each light that flashes gives a differant fault code . Get back to me

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

No promises but it's worth carrying this out anyway!

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

first try uplugging the unit for 15 minutes then plug the unit back in there is a solenoid in the door switch that should rest when the power is off for that amount of time the next thing that you would do if that doesnt work is remove the front panel of the machine there should be a cord type pull attached to the door lock pull this to open then door and replace the door switch would be the final step in repairing this situation if you have anyfurther questions please message me back Thanks again

worked for me!

Try Cleaning your filter under the front of the washer it probably has coins and other wonderfull stuff which can cause the clicking issue.

From the front of the washer, spin the drum by hand, and if it feels rough, or is noisy, or rumbling, then the main drum bearings have failed..
If no noise, then problem is elsewhwere.
Hope this helps.
