The interlock locks the door once a wash begins and tells the control board it is safe to fill and spin, so when it fails the machine may refuse to start, the door may not lock, or it may stay locked at the end of the cycle. It fits a wide range of Hotpoint, Indesit, Ariston and Creda washing machines and washer dryers.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background:#fdf6f2; border:1px solid #f0d4c6; border-left:5px solid #c8552a; padding:12px 14px; margin:16px 0; border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please check your full appliance model number and original part number before ordering.

When the door is closed and a programme starts, a heated PTC element inside the interlock moves a small bolt that locks the door and completes the circuit that lets the machine fill, wash and spin. At the end of the cycle the element cools, and after a short delay the door unlocks. A worn interlock can stop the machine starting, or leave the door locked when the wash has finished.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCommon Fault Symptoms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe machine will not start even though the door is shut properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe door does not lock, or the door-lock light flashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe door stays locked long after the cycle has finished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA door or lock error code is shown on the display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKnown Compatible Brands \u0026amp; Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"margin:12px 0; border:1px solid #ddd; border-radius:8px; padding:10px 12px; background:#fafafa;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eView compatibility information\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      This genuine interlock is used across hundreds of Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines and washer dryers, as well as selected Ariston and Creda models.

Because the interlock locks and unlocks on every wash, its heating element and contacts gradually wear out. This genuine interlock, part number C00297327 (also listed as 482000089312 and replacing the earlier C00085194), is the direct replacement for many models.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Before ordering, check your model number and compare the old interlock. If the door will not open because the interlock has failed, do not force it: switch off, wait and drain the machine first. A broken door handle or catch can cause similar symptoms, so check those too.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff4ee; border:1px solid #f0d4c6; border-left:5px solid #c8552a; padding:12px 14px; margin:18px 0 12px 0; border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eSafety Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Electrical or gas appliance parts should only be fitted by a suitably competent person.
