Problem with Hotpoint washing machine

My previous wash I did stuck on the remaining 1 minute (it may have been slightly overloaded) was flashing "door" then on the indicator luckilly after 10 mins the door opened. Today I went to put a small load on, turned on the machine started at the end of the cycle just kept spinning like mad(probably finishing off from the remaining 1 min of the last one??) Anyway I let it run its course as I didnt want to stop it during the cycle and started it again hoping this time the water would load and it would go through it's usual cycle. Unfortunately not I close the door, switch it on press for the 3 seconds the wash cycle light illuminates but the door locked button doesnt so the cycle wont start. I'm just guessing it's a door lock problem any insights what it could be? Think I'll be doing a bit of hand washing tonight :mad:

fault code f01

the 1 on the display was signaling f01 so was the door light indicator ,that is led 1 for f01

this fault is the motor triac which is why the machine went into a violent spin when you tryed it ,this normally dislodges other wires from the pcb so might be better getting someone in to sort it for you

Thanks for that the door closes fine and locks into place it's just the display for the lock doesnt show hence the cycle then not starting, any idea price wise for repair is it a big job?? It was acting up a bit after cycles at Christmas with the door being stuck for 10 mins after the cycle but I was putting that down to overloading.
