Hello everybody it's 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today how to open a stuck
door on your Bosch washing machine, so if your door is stuck and you cannot get it
open there's a couple of different options
available to you, right let's get cracking. Before you get started make sure that
the child lock isn't on check out the link above now. Now this model is the
Bosch 'VarioPerfect Serie 4' but it should also be the same on Siemens
washing machines because they are the same company, now if the door is stuck on
your Bosch or Siemens washing machine then this could be because there's been a
power cut or maybe it's got a fault, now the first thing you need to do is
switch off the power at the plug, now in most cases turning off the power at the
switch will actually release the door and then you can open the door, but if
not you can try the second method, now before we try the second method there is
a link above now about how to remove the dispenser drawer on your Bosch washing
machine you can give it a good old clean, now what you do is you go down to
the bottom of the washing machine on the right hand side you've got this small
flap here, so just push that little divot in and then pull the flap out and what
you've got here is you've got an emergency release cord, so just take a
flat bladed screwdriver and then what you do is you place it into the hole
there, and you just pull it downwards and then you should hear the door release, I
just heard the door release there and now we should be able to open the door,
fabulous, whilst I have a nice cup of tea there's a link above now about E18 error
code which is basically a blocked pump filter i'll show you how to remove that,
give it a good clean and put it all back. If that still doesn't work you can try
some wire or some string and try and get that in between the seal on the door and
try and release the door mechanism, that way if that still doesn't work then you
can get brutal with it and use a large flat bladed screwdriver and literally
prise the door open, but I wouldn't recommend that, maybe it's time to call
out a washing machine engineer! If you found that video
