What happens if you pull on the wire or spring that connects the button to the interlock? If it opens OK like that you will probably find the linkage is at fault, not the interlock. |

Try disconnecting the tube from the interlock to the pressure vessel. If there is a blockage in the pressure vessel the tube might be staying pressurised. |

Sorry, I only just saw your last post. Yes, you can connect the C and L wires together but I'm not sure if tape will work on the locking button. I would probably dismantle the interlock and remove the button. |

Hello Matt
All the hoover 3 wire door interlocks need only two wires connected to bypass them the 3rd wire (whatever colour it is) is for the bi-metallic door lock, so once you have sorted out which pair you need you can either follow the 3rd spare wire back to the programmer and remove it all together or just tape it up securely, without digging out a manual i would go for Pink & Red the worst you can do by connecting the wrong wires is you will blow the fuse in the plug, which i have done on a few Hoover machines coz i coudnt be bothered to look up the wiring, the colour of the wires is arbitary. All my machines had there door delay interlocks by-passes irritating things Anyway if it goes tits up i will drag a manual down frm the loft and have a look Gary |

I'm going to do this to my A8572 tomorrow while I'm doing some work in the shed, the bimetallic lock is useless when the timer interlocks the door anyway. James. |
