i had a dodgy door interlock which needed a bit of manual persuasion , however i have now replaced the interlock and still the red light on the top right front will not illuminate, any ideas? I'm probably going to play about with the on/off button and possibly pump next, unless anyone knows different thanks
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.
WM51 washing machine red door light not illuminating
- The problem
- The washing machine previously had a faulty door interlock that needed manual persuasion. After the interlock was replaced, the red light at the top right front still did not come on, so the machine still appeared not to recognise the door as closed.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says the fault still sounds related to the door interlock circuit. A probable explanation is that the door catch is not operating the replacement interlock properly.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to re-check the door interlock area, particularly whether the door catch is correctly engaging and operating the interlock. The discussion does not confirm any further repair or a final fix.
- Checks to try
- Replaced the door interlock
- Observed that the red light only comes on when the door is closed
- Suggested checking whether the door catch operates the interlock properly
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Door interlock
- Door catch
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If you mean the red light that only comes on when the door is closed then the problem sounds like still with the door interlock. Maybe the door catch that operates it isn't operating the interlock properly?
