of determining whether or not there is an error in an automatic door
opening or closing operation carried out in response to a command to
open or close the washing machine's door; determining if the erroneous
operation has been repeated more than a predetermined number of times
according to consecutive incoming commands to open or close the door;
and when erroneous operation has repeated more than the predetermined
number of times, ignoring a subsequent command to open or close the
door.
1. A method of controlling an automatic door opening/closing apparatus
for a washing machine door, the method comprising the steps of:
determining whether or not there is an error in an automatic door
opening or closing operation which operation is carried out in response
to a command to open or close the washing machine door;
determining if the erroneous operation is repeated more than a
predetermined number of times according to consecutive incoming
commands to open or close the washing machine door; and in the
event that the erroneous operation is repeated more than the
predetermined number of times, ignoring a subsequent command to open or
close the washing machine door.
2. A method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising the step of: returning the door to the washing machine to an original position in the event that the error occurs.
3. A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the step of determining if
there is an error in an automatic door opening or closing operation is
performed on the basis of whether or not an inversion occurs in an
open/closed state of the door within a prescribed period of time after
an automatic door opening or closing operation is initiated.
4. A method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising the step of:
clearing the number of errors in the case where the door of the washing
machine has been opened or closed manually at the time of occurrence of
the errors.
5. A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said predetermined number is 3.
6. A method for controlling the operation of an automatic door
mechanism in a washing machine, said method comprising the steps of: sensing a command to automatically open or close a washing machine door;
sensing whether a failure occurs in opening or closing the door in
response to the command to automatically open or close the door; incrementing a counter indicating the failure; determining whether the counter is equal to a predetermined number; and
failing to engage the automatic door mechanism in response to a
subsequent a command to automatically open or close the door if the
counter exceeds the predetermined number.
7. The method claimed in claim 6, further comprising the step of: returning the door to an original position if a failure is detected.
8. The method claimed in claim 6, wherein failure is indicated by a
lack of a transition between a door open state and a door closed state
within a predetermined time period following entry of the command to
automatically open or close the door.
9. The method claimed in claim 6, further comprising the step of: clearing the counter if the door is opened or closed manually following a failure indication.
Turn the power off and leave for 5-10 minutes then turn on. This should release the door lock the problem could be the pump drain filter is blocked clean this and it should resolve future problems.
Hi,
Never reach inside the washing machine with it connected to the mains. The door interlock is always live.
There are several reasons why a Hotpoint door could be jammed shut.
•A broken door catch or door frame where the door catch screws in (they are rubbish on many Hotpoints - always breaking) you can sometimes get the door open if you push the door firmly in as you open it
•If there is water still inside the washing machine, then the door wont open either on these Hotpoint washing machines (not on some others though) If this is the case, when you try to open the door the ****** won't try to move down at all. You can open the door usually if you drain the machine. (only applicable with door interlocks that have a rubber pressure hose attached to them)
•A faulty door interlock
•The pressure chamber can be blocked on some earlier Hotpoint washing machines which gives the same effect as having water in the machine. Basically the washer "thinks" there is water in when there isn't. This would require the washing machine being stripped down to remove and clean the pressure chamber bottle. This cause is only applicable to washing machines where a small rubber hose is connected to the door interlock. This hose allows the door mechanism to be locked and unlocked by air pressure activated by water rising inside the pressure chamber bottle attached at the other end on the tub. Gunge can block the very small aperture where the pressure hose fits to the pressure chamber bottle.
