Our Bosch Exxcel 1200 express washing machine won't run.

The display shows the dotted bar extending right across it. The key
symbol, 1200 and -0- are also displayed.

With the programme selection dial set to 60 the key symbol is steady but
set to anything else it flashes. The door, so far as I can see, is fully
closed.

Anyone any ideas? Could the wire to the lock mechanism, for example,
have become dislodged?

TIA

I have found good advice on repair of washing machines/dishwashers
etc. there.

For the benefit of anyone else having this problem, the answer is to
hold down the Start button for four seconds.

So easy...

It sounds a bit like a child-lock. You can perhaps lock a programme
against unwanted fiddling, and this is reset by holding in the start
button ?

I'd guess there might be some clues in the instruction manual.
