Problem for Hotpoint BWM12 Front Load Washer

Door won't lock

My door will not lock and due to this the machine will not start. I found that if I push the latch over in the lock manually when the doors open it starts. For some reason it won't do this automatically. Can anyone help?

You either have to change the whole lock assembly, or just fix the catch magnet which might be malfunctioning.

In parts shouldn't be more than 100$.
