Haier HW-C1070TVE broke

It does sound as if the machine is seeing the door as “not locked”, but that doesn’t always mean the door simply isn’t shut properly. On these, repeated pausing can sometimes leave the door interlock or control out of sequence.

Before checking anything internal, isolate the washing machine from the mains.

1. Do a full reset Unplug it for 10–15 minutes, then plug back in and try a fresh programme from the start. Don’t use pause initially. Sometimes the control board will clear the fault after a proper power reset.

2. Check the door closes firmly Open and close the door firmly. Make sure no washing is trapped in the seal and that the door is not drooping. If the hinge is slightly loose or the catch is misaligned, the interlock may not engage even though the door seems shut.

3. Inspect the door catch Look at the plastic striker on the door itself. If it is cracked, loose, or worn, the lock may not detect it properly.

4. Listen for the lock Start a programme and listen carefully. You should normally hear a definite click from the door lock within a few seconds. - Clicks but still shows Error 1: possible faulty interlock switch or wiring - No click: possible failed door lock, wiring fault, or control issue

5. Check for obvious wiring issues If you are competent to remove the top/front access panel, inspect the wiring to the door interlock for loose or burnt connections.

If the catch is sound and a reset doesn’t help, the most likely fault is the door interlock assembly itself, though wiring or the control board are also possible. For mains electrical testing or replacement of internal parts, it’s best to use a qualified appliance engineer.
