Hi Sandra.
Yes it could be the interlock.

power is passed through the interlock on to the rest of the machine. The actual latching shut of the door is a simple spring-loaded mechanism where the latch just slips into the door catch and the door stays closed. Locking the door is a separate process.
go to this link and it should help you find out if it is or not.

Hi ganyam,

More than likely the Timer / Electronic Board has blown, or one of its connections or component have blown.

You can either inspect the Board/Timer and see if you can replace the component or fix a dry joint. Or you can replace the Board/Timer.

It is common for an overload to send power through to an electronic board and burn it out.

Kind Regards

Door Light won't go out

Hi, Does the door lock? Usually when you close the door it locks and allows the water to fill, then it starts the wash cycle. If when you close the door it does not fill, then it could be the door interlock which is at fault. Tom.
