Beko wmb71543w programme selects but won't start until 2 or 3 attempts of shutting the door. Seems like lock not selecting. Does this sound like the lock is faulty? Is there any way to check before I order a replacement? Thanks

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko WMB71543W intermittent start likely linked to door lock
- The problem
- A Beko WMB71543W washing machine would select a programme but often would not start until the door was shut two or three times. The poster suspected the door lock was not engaging properly.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is a faulty door lock. A loose or broken door catch/latch was also suggested as an alternative cause, but the poster reported that it looked OK.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was that the fault was probably the door lock, provided the door catch/latch was not loose or broken. No definitive test procedure or confirmed replacement was given in the thread, so the exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the machine would only start after shutting the door several times
- Visual check of the door catch/latch, reported as looking OK
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Probably, but it can be caused if the door catch is loose or broken.

If the door latch on the door seems ok it’s most likely to be the door lock
