We had the same issue: the cycle would start then stop, with the door open light coming on. It turned out to be a faulty contact in the door. Took a technician 15 minutes to fix.
Hi The light is
flashing due to the door lock error. The door lock is activated as the machine
experienced an error or was stopped in middle of a cycle. Or the door was being
pulled while the machine was running a cycle. Try unplugging your washer and
restart the washer to check if you are still getting the same blinking light.
If error is still not resolved then start the rinse/spin cycle & stop
the cycle, now press and hold the cancel button for 5-10 seconds. However,
if you are still not able to get the door open then you'll need to open the
door manually by disassembling the washer. Hope this helps... Please post back
for any further assistance. Daniel
When the program is pressed to start then the inlet valve must open and allow the water to come to the drum. if this is not happening then check the voltage to the inlet valve, if there is no voltage then the program controller is not outputting and so defective.
If not the inlet filter/valve is clogged and will need a back flush .
unplug the washer, remove the lower front panel, put your hand under the front panel and pull a little lever behind the door lock mechanism and pull the door open.
Suspect low water flow rate ., check flow rate from main sink tap , when turned on full this should be pretty fierce. Put machine on normal cool wash , when it is taking in cold water through the soap drawer , pull out the drawer a little , the water flow rate should be allmost the same as the tap , if not investigate , fill pipes at rear etc..
Suggestion: Put the machine off, try some WD40 on the machine where the lock is (not on the door). Then open & close the door a few times. After a couple of minutes try the machine
The error message "Err" usually indicates that the wash program and option are not compatible. 40 degrees and 900 rpm Spin should be o.k.. I would try another wash program with no special options and see if the problem goes away.
