Machine will not start.

Had a look at my frineds WJS1265W. The control panel lights up ok and seems to work correctly in every way until you press the start button and then nothing happens? I think the door latch is ok because the light is on and it does not allow you to open it. Also tested it is getting cold water out of the single feed. Everything seems normal except this slight drawback of not starting. The start light just keeps flashing as if it is in pause mode (even though it is not). Any ideas would be much appreciated. (I have tried shaking sense into it). Many Thanks, Mark

Samsung j1455av front loader washing machine lcd control panel frozen

when you disconnect from power you should wait about 5 minutes prior to reconnecting. Also check the panel to be sure you didn't place it into a "lock" mode. This can be corrected simply pressing the correct selection(s) to "unlock" the control panel.
Make sure the dispenser drawer is fully closed as some units prevent operation until properly sealed to prevent water leakage.

Zanussi fj1254w washing machine

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.

The machine doesn't work

Is your load within capacity. See that it is. Press and hold 'spin' & 'dry' for 5 or 6 seconds to unlock controls. Try the machine on a normal cycle once, see if it works.

Machine won't start

My friend got somebody in to fix it in the end. It actually did turn out to be a problem with the door switch. I don't think it was able to lock it's self properly even though the light was on. (Don't know the exact details though). Think they guy just played with the lock to sort it out rather than getting a new part. I noticed when I played with it that if you got the door open, pulled out the plug and switched it back on again it would make a clicking noise for a while as if it was trying to shut it's self if this is any help?
