Zanussi FJ1094. Mains light on, door locks, nothing else happening?

Hi there again Fred...and I'm pleased to advise that I have obtained a simple multimeter which will test for voltage or continuity. I have also further investigated the two pink wires which go down to the door lock, one comes from one of the water level switches and the other from the mains on switch. Both these wires show continuity and I have confirmed that with the machine switched on, there is mains passing thru the door switch. Also I have found that if the orange bulb in the door is wired independently to mains, it does indeed work, altho it does not work when machine switched on and door locked. Would you like to advise me of any further checks to carry out. Many thanks....Geoff...

Hi there and thanks for this. There are no flashing lights on the panel, in fact the only light on the panel of this model is the mains on light, which is on. To give more details....the washer stopped towards the end of a cycle, with water still in it, and tripped the house circuit breaker. Once re-set however it does not trip again, however washer completely inactive apart from door interlock being activated. Will do some more work on the door switch.......
