Door lock fault — door not confirmed locked

Open and firmly re-close the door — listen for the interlock solenoid to click as the cycle starts
Inspect the strike and latch for detergent buildup or a bent catch preventing full engagement
Unplug the washer and test the door interlock for continuity across the lock terminals with a multimeter
Check the wiring harness from the interlock to the main board for a loose or discoloured connector
If the latch is clean and the interlock reads open, replace the door lock assembly
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On Beko/Blomberg front-loaders the interlock is a PTC-heated lock — it can read open when hot after several failed cycles. Let it cool 15 minutes before condemning it, then retest continuity cold.
