Washer-dryer displays E16; may be related to door lock not releasing at end of cycle.

Safety: Disconnect power before attempting to manually release the door lock.

• Wait for delay: Many Belling washer-dryers have a 1–2 minute delay before unlocking. Wait this period after the cycle ends.
• Check for water level: If water remains in the drum, the door will stay locked. Drain via the pump filter and run a drain/spin cycle.
• Manual release: Access the manual door release (often a pull cord near the pump filter behind the lower flap). Pull gently to open the door.
• Inspect door lock: Once open and power is off, remove the door lock assembly and check for mechanical sticking or heat damage. Replace the door interlock if suspect.
• Door handle: Check the door handle and latch hook for cracks or misalignment. Replace the door handle kit if it does not fully engage the lock.
• Control issue: If the lock is mechanically sound but never receives an unlock signal, the PCB may be at fault and require replacement.
