Just had a similar problem with a Hotpoint w/m. It turned out to be the door switch / solenoid.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Will it open with the power switched off ? The solenoid on ours is on a timer but when the power is off it will open so it could be the delay
timer.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

mhhh
many times the washing circuity
need that the basin is empty of water.
When the process is interupted, the only way to make sure the basi is empty is to do a centrifugal round.
its what i did when i had some similiar problem.
The pump will pump the water out and then the centrifugal process will start.
at the end you should be able to open up the door.
you risk that opening it forced(fooling circuitery etc.) that the basin is full of water.

There is a drain function on most Aristons. Turn the dial to the little symbol with the bowl and arrow and turn it back on. You should hear it pump
out, I did this last week when the missus decided her mobile needed a daz doorstep challenge.

garge time fixing washing machines can i he he he

could just be the door stuck shut and because its stuck not registering as shut if that makes sense ...
take the top off reach down inside it and release the door catch open it and shut it again see if it works as a possible easy fix (happened to my
aunties) but make sure you switch it off and not switch off the fridge instead otherwise you are likely to get a really bad electric shock going up
your arm and then jumping out of it wherever it is in contace with the washingmachine casing leaving you with a couple of entry nd exit wounds
surrounded by tasty burns
interesting side note ... why are burn dressings flammable
