In this video, eSpares will show you how to open a stuck washing machine door step by step so you can get your appliance working again.
If you find yourself saying "why won't my washing machine door open?", the issue could be due to either a jammed door lock or a broken handle.

However, as not all methods will work on all washing machines, we will run you through each method throughout this video so you can solve this problem of your washing machine door not opening.
If your washing machine door stays locked on several occassions, there's always a chance you will need to replace your door lock or handle. You can find replacements for both of these parts here. www.espares.co.uk/search/pt15...

May Almighty Allah reward you abundantly. Your video is short, precise, miracle. I opened the washing machine door after 2 minutes of watching your instruction.
I was literally crying about 2 hours that I couldn't open my washing machine. You just saved my life. I'm thankful ❤❤️❤️.
Hi, it's great to hear that our video has been able to help you! Thanks for your comment.
I was in tears this morning when I couldn’t get my disabled son’s clothes out due to the lock not opening. Tried the card first and couldn’t get it. My nylon string was too weak and broke. Finally, I just shut all the power off for a bit then boom, it unlocked 😅
Hi, thanks for your comment...even though you couldn't open the door with the first two methods, it's good to know you managed to do it eventually.
You just saved me from throwing my washing machine from the 7th floor. Manually pushed the hook from inside. Many thanks!
Hi Kalin, we are glad our video helped.
Thanks the String just worked for me
What are ya? The crazed Hulk LOL and you must really work out if you can manage to do that haha
We need more people like you in this world
NO WAY, the string method worked, just, didn't think it would :) now I need to replace the handle on this 15 year old legend

Thanks Jennifer. 😊
Thanks a ton for this helpful video! The "percussive maintenance" method worked for me. Looks like no matter how advanced household appliances become, the good old give-it-a-hearty-whack approach remains a constant.

The credit card technique got the door open. Many thanks for showing this!

*me: wtf why doesn t she open? also me: slapping the door
the door: opens

Hi Jasmine, it is surprising what works sometimes and the washing machine just needed a good slap ☺
@@eSpares YES! worked for me after the slap lol
S really it works, I did today, the door has opened, thanks for sharing after seeing reviews I gave a slap
Probably wanted it a bit rougher than usual, Now you're ready to go round the back for the full drum treatment and there's nothing quite like a good belt drive oooooooh yeeeeeeeah mmmmmmmm 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, a swift blow to the handle and it opened like a dream - thank you sir!
Hi Richard, thanks for letting us know it worked for you.
After hours of trying to work out how to open the door, your strimmer line trick worked a treat. Thanks.

How to: Activate and Deactivate Child lock on HOOVER Ecobubble Washing Machine 10 Kg
Just washed work clothes which I need for the morning. Somehow I've busted the handle and can't get them out. Losing the plot and seconds away from using dynamite to get my clothes out. Checked you tube and I've opened it with string like you showed. Thank you. You tube is the bollocks. I love it. But one thing I'm sure of is, that string will be my handle forevermore. Fuck that shitty plastic spring clip thing.
Great vid
HI Mark Jochan, thank you for your post and glad the video helped we have loads more ☺
You just made my life easy, no explained about the internal handle door at all. Nice instructions!!!!
Hi, thanks for your comment. We're glad we could help you get your washing machine door open!
It worked on our Edesa machine, the method with the strimmer cable. It is fantastic and has saved us possibly 300euros for a new one...thank you very much.
Thanks for the feedback, check the handle as it may have fractured and need replacing.
