welcome to buyspares in this video we'll
be showing you how to open a washing
machine door that's stuck important
before replacing a part in any
electrical appliance you must ensure
that the appliance is first disconnected
from the mains washing machine doors
often wrote open due to a broken handle
occasionally it could also be due to a
jammed lock check of the handle is loose
as this will indicate it's broken and
use the following methods to try and
open the door manually some methods may
not be applicable to all machines if the
handle is stiff it may indicate a jammed
lock many machines use Thermal door
locks that open after two minutes when
the machine finishes disconnect the
power and wait several minutes before
retrying if the door is still stuck
strike the area firmly where the catch
is as this may help to release the lock
once open if the problem reoccurs
suspect the lock if the door handle is
loose and does not move the catch it may
be possible to use nylon trimming line
or even an old credit card take a length
of grass trimmer line or strong nylon
cord and pass it around the door frame
by pulling the line to the other side of
the door it should move the hook
releasing the door

alternatively push a credit card under
the rim to locate the lever when this is
pushed it should move the hook and
release the door notes on some machines
the card may catch the door locks around
and not move the catch
if these still have not worked then
removed the top panel from the Machine
and gain access to the lock inside if
all of these methods fail we may have to
break the lock to allow the door to be
released for all the spares you need
