HOW CAN I FIX MY HOTPOINT WT741?

MID CYCLE THE DISPLAY FLASHES UP "DOOR" AND ALL OTHER LIGHTS EXTINGUISH. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND NO LEAKAGE

just had the same fault. It is the brushes! Saved me a new door lock as that is what I was going to change. You can check by putting the machine on its side (remember to unplug) and remove the brushes (will need a 5.5mm socket). They should be pretty worn. You can check it is the brushes and get a couple of extra days by pulling the carbon centres until they move out a couple of millimetres from where they stopped previously and refitting (worked for me)

motor brushes need replaced. very unlikely to be a door lock problem
