Zanussi ZWD16270D Washer Dryer?

Ok, I have been having problems with the door interlock as it was not registering the door closed and would give me an e40 error, after some tinkering I have fixed the door interlock with no more errors, however, whenever I try and start a dry cycle the machine with start to drain and cycle once then the digital display will jump from the programmed time say 1:25 to 00:1 and the machine will stop completely but the door remains locked.

it is a common problem with the door locks failing
did you notice a brown bit on the outer casing of the door lock when you where tinkering?.remove the door lock and see if there is a HOT SPOT brown mark in the plastic casing.Unfortunatly when they fail they can cause serious damage to the main control pcb door lock output circuit!.might be worth trying a NEW door lock but be aware if damage has occured on the pcb it will be a waste of your money BUT there isn't any way around this
