Indesit iwc 6085 not working

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Indesit IWC 6085 stops after a few seconds after door interlock change

The problem

After replacing a door interlock that had been shorting out, the Indesit IWC 6085 starts a selected programme but stops again after a few seconds. On spin it turns a few times then stops; on rinse the inlet valve opens briefly then stops. No fault code was reported.

Likely cause

The discussion suggests a door locking/interlock issue is the strongest supported diagnosis, specifically whether the replacement lock is actually locking the door. PCB damage from the earlier short was mentioned by the owner as a possibility but was not confirmed.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was to check whether the door can be opened immediately after the machine stops, to confirm if the door lock is engaging properly. Speculative PCB replacement was discouraged. No completed repair was confirmed in the thread.

Checks to try

• Checked for fault code; none reported
• Tried different programmes
• Turned the machine off and on
• Unplugged and retried
• Advised to check whether the door can be opened straight after it stops to confirm the door lock is locking
