Try pushing the door in as I suspect the door interlock switch is stuck, if this dosen't work you will have to replace the door interlock switch which can be purchased from Hotpointspares.co.uk and is reasonably easy to fit as can be seen on YouTube .

Testimonial: "Hi, thanks very much for that. I have tried all of that to no avail, so will follow your advice!"

SOURCE: DOOR WILL NOT LOCK

assuming that you didfi not unwire ther door lock, the problem is probably just that the door seal just needs bedding in and you should be able to start by closing more firmly and pushing in till the door lock catches. did you properly seat the door boot on the cabinet?

SOURCE: door lock flashes

Your switch bracket or switch is either broken or you have no either to or from it. Check your switch first.

Hi, I have a Hotpoint wm53w first edition 1200 and the door light does not come on when the door is shut. When I switch it on and set a programme, the amchine sometimes does not start, the door light

Generally the problem lies with a faulty door interlock switch rather than a programmer fault. These are can be purchased easily but don't be fooled into buying cheap alternatives, and if you are a competant diy person no problem to fit.

My door is shut and light is on flashing door on my hotpoint washing machine WT741. the door is shut and it does lock aswel so why the flashing light and no washing being done?

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
There is likely to be a problem with the 'door closed' sensor/microswitch requiring a service engineer's attention I suggest ;-0(

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

The door is locked and i have drain it out and still wont unlock

If you are certain that all water has drained out, and have not already done so, then switch off power to washer, and wait 2 or 3 minutes.
Then try door again, if it still does not open, then it is going to be have to be forcibly opened.
