Hi I'm Matt from eSpares, in this video I'll be showing you

how to release a stuck washing machine door.

If your washing machine door is stuck it may be due to a broken handle

but it could also due to a jammed door lock.

If your handle is loose on your washing machine door it may indicate that it's broken.

One of the following methods in this video will help you to release that door.

However please be aware that not all methods will work on all machines.

Safety first: Always remember to unplug a machine before carrying out any work.

If your door handle on your washing machine is very stiff and won't move

the problem will be with the lock itself.

Most washing machines use a thermal lock

which releases the lock after two minutes from the cycle finishing.

If that is your problem turn the Machine off wait five minutes and try again.

If the problem persists you can gently strike the door to activate the lock.

However if the problem continues you will eventually have to replace the lock itself.

Another method you can use to open your washing machine door is if you have a handle

inside the door rim such as this one,

it means the hook which goes into the door lock is pushed towards the door.

Now there are a couple of techniques you can use to activate that hook manually.

The first one is by using a nylon line, now I'm using trimmer line for this

but you could use fishing line simply feed it in around the top of the door,
