Dometic wmd 1050, takes so long to wash (1+hrs), is there a short cycle , say 30mins and if so how do you program it, many thanks, Bill

Most likely the inlet tray has a filter in the top that is the roof of the compartment. This gets clogged with detergent and softner. Try cleaning it and make sure all the little holes are clear.

My guess is its not completed a cycle for some reason so its not unlocking the door. This is likely to be a main controller issue so you will likely need the services of an appliance engineer. Sorry.

take bottom panel off, wont swear to it , but a lot of hotpoints have a manual release there !!

Please check the flow of the water to the inlet pipe connection, check the filter at the inlet and also the inlet valve. If there is a slow water flow it will take much longer for the cycle to finish. Also try with other programs specially short/quick programs .
It will also be good to check the pump pressure and the sparying arms.

Are you sure the machine is not overfilling? next step after filling would be water heating - sounds like a water heating problem if machine spins and drains ok. Maybe a coin in the wash has punctured the element? water heater can be test for insulation / continuity if you have a high voltage tester, or remove it and examine if not by releasing the nut and pulling firmly. If it is scaled, holed or black replacement will be needed. Sometimes socks or clothing stuck on the heater cause localised overheating that will make it fail.

It seems there is not accepting cold water on wash . The solenoid for the wash is probably open circuit. Check the solenoids with a meter for continuity. I bet you will find one open circuit. Then you can go get a new one and replace it. Might also be the pressure sensor failure, but that is not consistent with a successful rinse cycle. Make and model would have helped ..... Cheers

Solanoid. does it fill on any other programe. try hot wash, then rinse

Try buttons "dry" & "spin" together for a few seconds. This is the child lock display.

Or press "end of cycle" for over 3 seconds.

Or press "options & select" till the light goes off.

Works for other machines..............And please rate me if helped
