Hello and thanks in advance to anyone that will help.

I have an IGNIS washer that suddenly doesn't work anymore.

I select a program, push ON but nothing happens, washer doesn't lock the door nor start...

I can't find the model number http://i.imgur.com/f3ZBLYr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/P9YUA1s.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LqbDpxY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YvFtjUB.jpg

I checked 1) socket with a lamp, working 2) different programs, nothing works

It was working perfectly before, no prior warning.

I don't know if it is related but... Recently I plugged a lamp that had a faulty cable that caused the house "main switch for plugs" (I don't know the technical name) to go off. However all other appliances are working fine. As far as I know that switch works like a fuse...

Ignis AWP011 washing machine completely dead with no door lock or start

The problem
The Ignis washing machine, identified in the discussion as likely model AWP011, suddenly stopped responding. After selecting a programme and pressing on, nothing happened: the door did not lock and the machine did not start. The owner reported no prior warning signs.
Likely cause
The discussion supports only a general diagnosis of a completely dead machine after basic power checks. No specific failed part or exact fault was confirmed.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was to confirm the supply by trying the washing machine in a different socket and to carry out basic non-start checks. The owner then stated they were about to buy a new washer. No repair to the existing machine was documented.
Checks to try
  • Socket tested with a lamp and found working
  • Different programmes tried with no response
  • Advised to try the washing machine in a different socket

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Model number looks like AWP011

If you have plugged a lamp in the same socket and the lamp works then it implies that the socket is okay. As a double check you could also try plugging the washing machine into a different socket.

If the machine is dead, follow this article to check all the basics - washing machine won't start
