Indesit interlock fault. Or is it?

[Paulie]

I have a WIL133 washer that seems to have an intermittant interlock - related problem. I changed the switch which seemed to cure the fault, though not straight away. It then worked ok for a week but now the interlock won't lock the door and the door open light keeps flashing. If I force latch the switch the door open LED turns steady. If something else is wrong would it stop the door from locking? There are no fault lights flashing.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Slide the silver pin up on the door handle

The pin was indeed loose, though at the bottom. I pushed it down into position but the lock LED is still flashing.

The start/reset button doesn't have that 'clicky' feel when pushed so I might have a look inside later and see if it's actually making a circuit.

After some abuse, the button now works every time so it wasn't the interlock after all. Maybe time to order a new control board.
