Sometimes it works ok, other times the door will not open at the end of the cycle. I have sometimes got round this by switching to 'drain' (although there is no water left in it), and it will hum for 30 seconds or so and then unlock the door, sometimes I've had to run a whole new cycle. Most recently, nothing worked and the washing was stuck in the machine for several days while I was waiting for my appointment (today) with a service engineer. I kept trying though, and yesterday managed to get it open. The engineer said it was probably either the door catch sticking (even though sometimes its fine), or the PCB playing up - which will cost approx £200 for a replacement. The machine is only 2 years old and 3 months old!! I used it again after he'd gone, and the washing is stuck in there again now! Does anyone have any experience of this, or any other ideas? Thanks.
I had similar problem, but never found the cause, ended up spinning washing again and again until I could open door. Control system replacements are expensive , almost as much as a new machine.

problem is almost certainly the door interlock. to replace, remove the plastic clip holding the door boot onto the cabinet and peel it back adjacent to the door lock. the door lock is just held in by two screws accessible at the front of the cabinet. not an expensive part. easy job - takes about 10 min

Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.
Rate me pl.....if helped.

With the symptoms you describe i would suspect a intermittent heater element fault as you are getting earth leakage current which is tripping the whole supply rather than a current overload which would just trip the socket circuit breaker. Get the heating element checked over first as this is the most likely cause.

Door not shut Check that the door is properly shut.Faulty interlock A faulty interlock might not allow the door to shut properly. Find your door interlock here and replace, or contact a qualified repairer.
No power Check the flex, plug wiring, fuse and mains supply for faults.
Faulty on/off switch Check the power light if fitted. Replace your on/off switch.
Water supply disconnected or off If a washer dryer cannot load water it cannot start a wash cycle. Check water supply.

This sounds like a drainage problem. First thing is to check the filter behind the flap on front of machine.
Please post back your findings for further assistance.
