Had an issue with this Bush WMNSN612W washing machine. Had a rogue engineers ruler get in between the the drum, another story! It found itself between fingers of the heating element which to remove meant cutting the element. Moving on, fitted new heating element, re assembled to the point where I was ready to do a trial run. Putit into one of the wash modes and hit the 'go' button. The door lock mechanism locked, clunk click . . Then after a couple of minutes waiting, the two indicators for wash and rinse started flashing. Isn't the internet a wonderful font of info! Found out that this indicated the door was not closing/locking properly. Attempted the initial process a number of times and kept getting the same result. Door is locking but not getting any of the normal procedures following, ie pump running , assume the sump clear of any other water left in the machine. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks in advance. Mike
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bush WMNSN612W stops after start with wash and rinse lights flashing
- The problem
- After a heating element was cut out to remove a foreign object and a new element was fitted, the Bush WMNSN612W would start a wash cycle, the door lock would engage, then after about two minutes the wash and rinse indicators would flash. No normal cycle actions were seen afterwards, including no obvious pump operation.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is a water supply or fill problem rather than a door lock fault. The accepted reply notes that a true door lock issue would not usually take a couple of minutes to show, whereas a failed fill can time out after a couple of minutes and then show an error.
- What fixed it
- Check the basics of the incoming water supply: make sure the tap is on and the hoses are not kinked. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Door lock engages at start
- Fault appears after about two minutes
- Wash and rinse indicators flash
- Water supply tap should be on
- Inlet hoses/pipes should not be kinked
1 Answer
Got to start with the very basics first. Is the water supply okay? Tap turned on, no pipes kinked? The thing is if it was the door that wasn't locked, I can't understand why it would take a couple of minutes. However, if it was trying to fill with water it would timeout with an error after possibly a couple of minutes.
