Maintenance determined a fault in the Proximity Swith Electronic Unit (PSEU) which caused the door indication.
A passenger reported there was a sudden "funny noise" almost immediately followed by the brakes coming on very hard. The aircraft returned to a parking stand, the captain announced that due a technical problem the takeoff was aborted. The crew was communicating with the headquarters to see whether the aircraft could depart with updates about every 15 minutes at first indicating that the aircraft would be able to depart. In the end an announcement was made that a replacement aircraft would fly to Brussels. The passenger reported that shortly after arriving in Brussels an e-mail arrived from Ryanair indicating that extraordinary circumstances outside the responsibility of Ryanair had led to the aborted takeoff and delay.
A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration EI-DPH reached Brussels with a delay of 6:45 hours.
Ryanair told The Aviation Herald: "The Captain of this flight cancelled his take-off after a cockpit warning light indicated a possible issue with an overwing exit. The aircraft returned to stand where passengers were disembarked and provided with refreshment vouchers. As Ryanair didn't have the required spare parts in Alicante, a replacement aircraft together with engineers and parts were dispatched from Brussels Charleroi. A Ryanair engineer cleared the fault on arrival and the aircraft returned to service."
