Washing Machine door lock problem

I'm trying to fix a Hoover Nextra HFN7313 80 washing machine. It worked but the door needed to be jiggled with before it would function or else it stopped mid cycle. It appeared the door lock was the problem and on inspection it had a cracked plastic part, though not a moving part.

I obtained a new lock part but heres my problem. It wasn't me who took the door lock out and I'm unsure of the correct wiring combination to the pins. There are two white wires with plastic covers over the connector and a single green wire with no cover over the connector.

I've tried all the combinations I could figure and none work. I've checked the fuse and for loose wires between the lock and the control.
I connected the water supply in case there was a sensor preventing it working. None of the lights come on. I've tried operating the lock manualy and the machine seems quite dead.

Does anyone know what I might be overlooking or can anyone at least tell me please, the wiring order for the lock?
