Hi. I have an Electrolux EWG model washer dryer. The door look clicks like its locked when you push start and the machine starts, but only for about 10-15 seconds. Then it stops, clicks two to three times and the door is unlocked and the start/pause button flashes green. No fault code is displayed. However, the dryer side of the machine will work fine and run for however long its set to dry for. Do I just need to replace the door interlock or is the circuit board at fault? This was only replaced last year, but the lock wasnt. Its in a mobile home and is barley used. HELP!!!

Since the door locks and then unlocks - I am afraid it is the circuit board at fault. It just doesn't sound like a fault with the door interlock system.

Frigidaire washer dryer Model FFLE4033QWO; dryer door is locked closed

Hi,

Please attempts to use oil to help gently open the door . Or you can start the machine and attempt to open the door then. Running the machine might free up the lock somehow. Thank you.

There is power to the dryer, but when i hit start, the door doesnt lock and then start? What could be wrong?

That's a great question, friend!
From what you have described your Electrolux dryer is not locking or starting when you hit the start button. It sounds like a potential issue with your door latch or main control panel. If your door latch is not sensing the door is closed and locked it will not start your washer cycle. Also, if your control panel is not registering the door is closed it will not lock and start the cycle. I suggest you reach out to a professional for proper repairs to be completed. If you do not have a professional contact you can visit your manufacturer's website for additional assistance. I hope this is helpful information to you. -Matt

My electrolux dry when i press start light on the panel goes on and it seems like it want to start but it does not.

if the voltage going to the dryer is correct it is probably a bad start capacitor on the motor a bad time will also cause it not to start one more thing can think of on the door there is a door safety switch bypass the door safety switch and see if it will start

I own a 1Q-Touch Front-Load Electrolux washing machine. The door won't open. What can I do?

Hello Elizabeth P Cochran - Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and restart unit. If the door does not open, then it sounds like the washer is possibly experiencing a communication problem with the control board, wiring failure or faulty door lock. Contact a professional to move forward accurately to properly diagnose/repair unit.

Electrolux EW845 washer fails to start. Normally when washer is switched ON, the door lock click was heard , but this click is not heard now.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

There is likely to be a problem with either the lid/door solenoid/lock or the 'lid/door closed' sensor requiring a service engineer's attention I suggest. Sorry ;-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!
