My washing machine is not working even though there is power to the machine and the mains light is illuminated. The door interlock does not work and I believe the fault lies in the door switch. How do I access the door switch as it appears to be difficult to access

easy to access.remove the plastic band that holds the rubber door seal to the front cabinet.un-hook the rubber gasket from cabinet lip on the door lock side.put your hand in and hold the door lock whilst removing the 2 screws you can see from the front.there might be a pipe attached to the lock,if so just pull it off.disconnect wiring.replace with new door lock in reverse.10 min job.DISCONNECT FROM MAINS FIRST!
