Indesit washing Machine

[Locstone]

Hello guys.

I have an Indesit W123 which stopped working.

The motor is in good order. There is current in and out of the On/Off switch, and current goes to door lock.

I suspect it may be the door lock. How can I test the door lock.

I have posted a layout of the door lock wiring connections.

Terminal C2 have the code MRC.

Terminal 1 MRN.

Terminal 3 MRL and 112.

I am thinking I could bypass the Door Lock by connecting two of the wires together (for testing) but which two ?.

Thanks for your help

The common C and the Live L. .. the thinner wire is the neutral

The live from on / off switch and the common which loops to valves heater and motor armature. Any break in this loop can cause the program not to start.

I traced wiring and made connections as suggested, but no movement.

Does the door lock but no fill or spin. Check motor brushes poss worn.

I cleaned up brushes and commutator sometime ago.

The door do lock.

With power On, the pilot light does not come on.

Just to be correct, for the purpose of the test, which best program to set machine on ?.

Check the wash heater terminals. The live supply should piggy-back off the heater to the module this may have snapped. Can you find a lonesome wire there?

If the door locks and nothing else check broken wire on motor block. Check connections on pcb. Also check brushes. check pump connections as well.
