Hoover washing machine door will not lock at the start of a cycle; there is a clicking noise but it will not start, and no code is displayed.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before adjusting hinges or latch.

• 1. Inspect door catch: Check the plastic catch on the door for wear or cracks. Replace if damaged.
• 2. Check hinge play: Lift the door gently to see if there is excessive movement. Tighten hinge screws or replace hinges if worn.
• 3. Inspect seal: Ensure the door gasket is not folded or obstructing the latch area.
• 4. Test closure: Close the door firmly and listen for a solid click. If still intermittent, replace the catch and consider replacing the door lock.
