my Ariston A16 washing machine won't go through a cycle?
Earlier today my washing machine failed to complete a cycle. I guessed the compartment at the front of the bottom of the machine may be blocked, so i opened it and discovered a few coins. I drained the water out of the machine but it will not go though a cycle. There is an LED display which counts down the minutes of a cycle, as it would normally, but the machine itself does nothing. At the end of a cycle, the display would normally change from 0:00 minutes to the word END which will then allow you to open the door, however it is staying on 0:00. I have turned it on, off pressed the reset button and occasionally the word DOOR appears on the display (which I've not seen before) but i wouuld guess that means the door's not shut properly, I have shoved the door to see if it then locks correctly but nothing happens - it seems to be shut tightly. I cannot open the door or get it to go through a cycle. Many thanks for any assistance. The machine is an Ariston Advantage A16
