Two ways
cut or break the handle off and you will expose the start of the door peg. this can be levered with a small screwdriver and the door will open.
or
take top off
feel down the front of the machine inside and you will feel the door interlock. sticking thro the interlock, you will feel the end of the door peg which with difficulty, can be levered with thumb nail so door opens
disconnect from mains first

Indesit DFG 15B1 Ecotime Freestanding Dishwasher (U.K.) won't start. Powers on.

Question edited for clarity.

It could be many things, failed pump motor, failed mainboard and as you say, the door switch. There are some ideas in the link, but you would be advised to call your local Indesit Service Agent. Try a power cycle reset.

My Indesit WIL163 is stuck washing - won't go on

I suspect that the logic board has developed a fault and probably needs replacing. 'Phone your Indesit Service Centre and get an engineer out. I believe a replacement board costs about £100 fitted, but a 12-month service plan paid monthly may be a bit cheaper, and will cover further breakdowns. Unfortunately, these boards are not the most robust or reliable examples of technology.
Turn off the power to the machine; preferably unplug it.
If you can open the door(?), bale out the drum by hand. I don't think there's a pump/filter access panel on this machine, so it's not easy to get the water out. You could try
disconnecting the discharge hose from the pipework, then lower the open end over a washing-up bowl so that the water drains from the drum by gravity. It depends how close to the floor you can get the open end. When enough water has drained, it should be possible to open the door to remove the laundry. Sorry, this may take a while.
Hope this has helped.

Unplug machine, take lid off and locate the door lock. You will have to use a small screwdriver or something to release the lock. Then replace your door handle.
