Ignis Washer Suddenly Doesn't Work... As Silent As The Grave

[andy1]

Hello and thanks in advance to anyone that will help.

I have an IGNIS washer that suddenly doesn't work anymore.

I select a program, push ON but nothing happens, washer doesn't lock the door nor start...

I can't find the model number

I checked
1) socket with a lamp, working
2) different programs, nothing works

It was working perfectly before, no prior warning.

I don't know if it is related but...
Recently I plugged a lamp that had a faulty cable that caused the house "main switch for plugs" (I don't know the technical name) to go off.
However all other appliances are working fine.
As far as I know that switch works like a fuse...

Model number looks like AWP011

If you have plugged a lamp in the same socket and the lamp works then it implies that the socket is okay. As a double check you could also try plugging the washing machine into a different socket.

If the machine is dead, follow this article to check all the basics - washing machine won't start

I am about to buy a new washer. Can you recommend any good brand? And what to avoid...

Thank you so much
