HELP. Now that Dyson have "pulled the plug" on support and service on their washing machines without informing us directly - no, I did NOT receive any such communication from Dyson and my washing machine was repaired and serviced 25th September 2012 less than a week before Dyson claim they informed everyone!!! - are there any Dyson-washing-machine-engineers out there servicing my area looking to earn some extra money? Keep getting messages 'close inner door' and 'close outer door'. Need new inner door, new outer door and a new detergent drawer. This old work horse has years to go before it goes and dies on me!
Dyson no longer manufacture or supply the parts. Your only hope is to get a second hand part. Not hard to fix.
Testimonial: "Sorry but seeing as we all know that Dyson no longer manufacture or supply parts yours is NOT a solution given there's no advice where to get a second handpart nor how-to-fix!"

SOURCE: machine saying close outer door but its closed
I'm not an washing machine engineer but I do tend to do all my own home repairs - had to fix this fault this morning,
Quite easy to fix as long as there are no broken parts in the interlock and the solenoid isn't jammed.
UNPLUG FROM MAINS
Remove the top - 2 Philips or flat blade screws - pull backwards.
Remove front door - large flat blade inserted into gap in lower door hinge at back and gently twist to widen gap while pulling the door forward at bottom.
Remove 4 torx type screws (not sure what size) and 2 long torx screws from behind the hinge.
You may want to remove the coin trap door now - it makes the job of removal and refitting the front panel easier. Remember to put a tray underneath!
Unplug the ribbon connector for the front panel from it's socket and the clips - unplug the little pipe from the middle of the front panel.
Gently lift the front cover pulling the bottom edge forward a bit to ease removal. It is not necessary to fully remove the front panel so you can leave the mains switch connected.
Unhook the emergency release strap from the pivot arm.
2 Torx Screws above and below the door latch hole secure the latch assembly. Unplug the latch from a socket past the little foam block on the front - just inside the machine.
You now have the latch. Operation is quite obvious. The door loop pushes an angled plate that swings a hook into the loop. The solenoid when activated pushes a bar down to lock the hook in place and push down on 2 micro switches wired in series as the interlock.
To strip down the assembly unplug the micro switch plugs and push a small screwdriver into the top and bottom catches.
You can now lubricate the latch and check the function of the micro switches using a meter. They a easily replaced if you can find the correct type. (Unofficially - for a home repair - if one is not working you could always bypass one - but I wouldn't condone that obviously)
If you are careful enough - the operation of the solenoid and latch can be checked and observed by plugging the unit back in and pushing the door loop into the latch - be careful of the exposed wires etc - not sure what voltages are there!!
If it's unservicable then a replacement is about £35 online.
Reassemble in reverse - nothing to point out and is quite straghtforward. Dont forget the little pipe on the back of the control panel - it's easily missed.
Hope this helps.

Yes you will need a service call, you may have a issue with the water valve or control, At the start of the cycle it should not be filling the softener dispenser till later in the program.

Thank-you buzzdem, much obliged for your help. As it happens my washing machine is up-and-running again (touch-wood). I tightened the screws on the inner door and reset the door clip on the outer door taking care now to place it first seeing that it moves a lot side-to-side and up-and-down.
