Hi.

The door does not open because there is water inside the machine. To open the door you need to empty the tub first.

To empty the tub disconnect power, open the door at the bottom of the machine's front side, unscrew the drain filter cap and collect water using a container.

Usually that is enough to allow the door to open. If the door does not get released, try running a cycle again.

If still no luck, then the door is locked either because the pressure switch detecting water level is clogged with soap or because the power surge has damaged some component. In that case the machine must be partially disassembled to reach the back of the door opening mechanism. The door latch is reachable either from drain filter access or from top of the appliance.

Emptying water through the drain filter and/or restarting a cycle usually is enough to release the door lock.

Regards.

GLTF1240ASO Front Door Won't Lock/Close

Most probably your door lock is damaged. You are not supposed to force it open, you have to wait for at least 2 minutes (or till the lock sign is off) after the wash is over to open the door, never force it.
You can just google your model number and search for parts to obtain it. It is quite possible you can change it yourself. See that the line is disconnected from the mains.

Zanussi progress 1200 won't take softener into

Hi there
Now I am urprised. There must be three dispensers in your Zanussi as in my Candy.
One is for the main wash another for prewash and the third one for
the softner.
Look in the manual.

Zanussi washing machine zwf14581w . err e40

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Zanussi's 'E40' states 'door open, interlock, wiring or main PCB'. Hopefully it is just a problem with either the door solenoid/lock or the 'door closed' sensor requiring a service engineer's attention.

If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!
