Hotpoint WD420 won't start any more

[jgoff]

The "Door Locked" red light remains on at any time (even when the door is open) and the "Dry" light flashes, but the machine won't start... I tried to unplug it but nothing changed when I plugged it back... Any idea?

f01 light 4, motor triac
f02 light 3 motor, jammed/ tacho
f03 lights 3&4 Ntc fault
f04 light 2. pressure sw stuck on empty
f05 lights 2&4, pressure sw stuck on full
f06 lights 2&3, N/A?
f07 lights 2&3&4 heater relay
f08 light 1. heater relay
f09 lights 1&4 eprom/setup error
f10 lights 1&3, pressure switch not sensing
f11 lights 1&3&4, pump/draining error
f12 lights 1&2, communication error
f13 lights 1&2&4, dryer ntc/ fan motor
f14 lights 1&2&3, dryer heater
f15 lights 1&2&3&4, dryer heater relay
f16 N/A
f17 light 4, door lock
f18 light 3 comms error (3 phase motor) power board

So in this instance with the second light flashing the error code would be f04 light 2. pressure sw stuck on empty

Thanks for the answer. In fact none of the lights on the left were flashing, just the "Dry" light, along with the "Door locked" light that remained on. It acted as if it had not seen that the door had been opened. However, after a while lights 1 & 2 on the left started to flash, meaning a "communication error". I unmounted the opening mechanism and then re-mounted it, and it worked again. I guess there is a problem with the door sensor that very often doesn't see that the door is shut (I have to re-open and close the door several times before it works) - and sometimes it just doesn't see that the door is open...
Thanks for the hint anyway.

Worth checking your door locking mechanism for wear and if that is ok change the door interlock as these get tempermental when they start to fail, when they blow they often take out part of the PCB (if lucky the PCB can be repaired)
