Hotpoint Ultima FDW80 - Door Error

[richbadams]

Hi,

I am continuously getting a DOOR code flashing up on my Hotpoint dishwasher.

The wash cycle will not start as a result.

I have checked tray alignments, checked and cleaned seals and have run out of ideas.

Can anyone help?

Hi

What do you mean by flicked over? - there is a metal square "bar" which slots into the door.

Should I be checking the mechanism within the door?

I have just looked at the door mechinism - it now seems to have flicked over while the door is open - the machine now starts with door open....help!

thin screwdriver in the lock to flick over the plastic catch , also poss the spring is missing in the lock ,remove the front top panel to see the lock easy and cheap to replace.
