The short answer
The WMY line checks power, door, water and lock in that order before it begins, so on the models listed in the table on this page the point at which it stops tells you which check failed — if you know to watch for it.
What this looks like in the kitchen
- The door will not close firmly — A dropped hinge or a swollen boot stops the latch engaging, and without the latch nothing runs.
- The panel is completely dark and nothing responds — No lights, no beep, no door lock click. That is a supply question before it is an appliance question. That holds for every model the table on this page lists.
- It worked after being switched off and on again — A reset that works is information: something tripped and it will trip again.
- The machine starts and stops within seconds — Usually a supply or a level condition read immediately after the start command.
- The machine starts but fills extremely slowly — A partly closed tap or a silted inlet gauze. The machine has started; it simply cannot proceed.
- NEAR MISS — the machine is in a delay-start programme — Check for a delay timer before anything else; it costs nothing to rule out.
- NEAR MISS — the drum will not turn but the panel works — A seized drum or a drive fault is mechanical; the control is doing its job.
What is most likely, and why
- A closed or frozen water supply — First, and by a distance. Many controls will not start a programme they cannot fill, and a closed tap is indistinguishable from a failed valve to the machine. On the WMY line this is the part that is reachable first.
- A latched control error from a previous cycle — Then this. A machine that starts after a power-down had latched an error; find what caused it.
- A silted inlet gauze filter — Then this one. The gauze in each inlet coupling catches grit from the supply and throttles the fill until the machine times out. On the models listed in the table on this page the access for this is the same across the line.
- A control board fault — Fourth, and getting rarer. Last, and it is over-diagnosed. Only a board that fails with a proven supply, a proven lock and a proven supply of water deserves the name.
- A door that no longer aligns with its latch — Fifth, and uncommon. Alignment rather than electronics: lift the door as you close it and see whether it starts.
The diagnostic order
- Look for a child lock indicator — Read the panel for a lock symbol before assuming a fault.
- Power the machine down fully for several minutes — Switch off at the wall, wait, and note whether the behaviour changes. This is where the WMY line differs from the brand’s other lines.
- Test the socket with another appliance — Prove the socket before anything else; it is the commonest cause of a dark panel.
- Switch off at the wall for a few minutes and retry — Power down completely, wait, then try a short programme.
Before you open anything
Safety
Isolate the machine and close both taps before anything is opened. Expect water at every hose and every filter, and work cold — a filter opened after a hot wash empties near-boiling water onto your hands.

When this becomes a service call
Call once the socket is proven, the taps are open, the panel is unlocked and the door still will not confirm. What is left is the lock assembly or the control, and both need testing at the connector.
