My washing machine is a Zanussi Electrolux ZWF1210W. The End light is just flashing but the door wont open. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you get to the machines outlet pipe? If you can have a bowl handy & lower the outlet pipe to the bowl & it should drain that way. The reason the door wont open is because of the interlock in the door, the pressure switch is still telling it that it is full of water. Once the water has drained then there should be a "click" & the door should then open.
If water dosen't drain quickly then there is possibly a blockage in the filter, or there may be a button in the pupm or outlet pipe.

Thanks,
Rob

Yeahm i had an inkling it could be that but glad you could confirm it. Although i couldn't find a dish to fit under it so towels had to suffice lol

Anyways thanks a lot.

Have you checked your filter? As your machine is full you will need to put a tray to catch the water in it (slowly undo the filter or will gush out and cause a flood). Clean the filter and put back in and should work.

Please be careful how you do this as not to cause a flood. Hopefully this suggestion will work for you. Good luck.
