Samsung Big Wash washing machine error code Ec

My Samsung washing machine model B1215J completed its wash fine, then when the "open door" button was pressed there was a loud pop and flash of light. We opened the door using the mechanical release. Now, the programme selector, on some programmes, will display code Ec, with a flashing E. The musical note is flat, and it makes a constant humming noise. Can anyone diagnose the problem please? Many thanks.

I had a similar error (E0 I think) from a Hotpoint washer dryer, which was also a thermistor error and E0 meant the machine thought it was freezing so had shutdown, turned out that years of vibration had broken the wire leading to the thermistor, a bit of solder and heatshrink sleeve later it was all OK again.
