Thank you for making this video, it helped me to open the door and get my washing out. It also helped to fix the issue. Bosch should be ashamed of themselves for making bad products.
Very clear advice, opened the door within 1 minute of watching your video (shining a torch in that small gap to see where the white plastic stops and the metal starts may help). I could not remember how I managed to open it the last time the door handle broke but it definitely took a lot longer! This time I will also attempt to repair it using a piece of plastic and screws as you described, rather than buying a second replacement handle (currently £21.17 inc. postage from Bosch direct). Just in case anyone else reads this if the door handle is broken as in this video, pulling the red solenoid lock release tab at the bottom of the machine will not help. You have to find the metal and press with a knife as per this video. Many thanks.
I'm glad if I could help you with the video. If you also want to help me, then I would be happy if you subscribe to my channel. And if you are one of the kind people who sent me some money to my Paypal account as a token of appreciation, then I would like to thank you very much. Merry Christmas!
Thanks a million! I would never have fixed it without your instructive video. The solution is so simple but yet unimpossible to figure out on your own. Thanks again! Peter from Sweden

Hubby away and my clothes have been stuck in the machine for 2 days. I watched so many videos and nearly broke my machine. Yours was the only solution that worked. A true lifesaver, thank you!🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Just want to say that this video has saved my life. Well slightly dramatic but the handle broke off my machine with a weeks worth of my 7 year olds clothes in it. I nearly cried. Thank you soooooo much.
Thank you for posting this video!! I'm the latest owner of this machine for that exact little bit of plastic on the door to break off and you saved our washing machine with the excellent video, such a simple efffective solution, I even had the very same ikea bag tag to use to fix it - thank you so much!!!
Excellent! Thank you. After I found your very helpful video, I had our washing machine fixed (better than new) in less than an hour. I sent you a small "thank you" by PayPal. Cheers!
Thanks to you I’ve fixed my washing machine door and saved so much time and money trying to locate parts etc. I even had the same type of Ikea clip on hand for the repair. You are awesome!
Thank you so much! I loved it and saved my washing last night! I will try the complete fixing over the weekend! Update: I managed the whole thing with my 12 year old son: he loves DIY work and I wouldn't have managed without him! It becomes a bit fiddley at times, also we didn't have all the right tools and screws but we managed! :)

Thanks for the super helpful video! We were panicking about the jammed door and this video really addressed the precise problem with the door handle mechanism. Seems like we all have the same problem whether in Europe or Singapore! Glad we didn't have to call a repairman.
Amazing!! Thank you so much, your video is perfect. Every step was clear and the repair worked a treat. Just a tip on getting it all back together - clamp the rim, it makes it easier to put the screws back in. Massive thanks for taking the time to share your solution.

Wow..what a great simplicity. Thanks! Right after the holidays with a family of four we have quite some washing to do😱. Shit like this always happen with bad timing😅. I will check for stainless steel M3😉..if not around I can use galvanized as well since the screws are outside the “liquid zone”. What a shame that such a small bad engineered component can cause so much trouble. I also tried pulling the plastic black lock “cord” behind the lower front filter/pump hatch but that didn’t work. Usually that de-activates the lock in other machines🤷♂️
It turns out super easy! I wish I have had done last year so my family does not have to suffer the pain of finger when open the door. Thank you the great video! It really helpful!
Thank you for this fantastic video! I had exactly the same problem on my Bosch washing machine. You saved me from a costly repairman. I even had a IKEA clip in the same colour....😁
Thanks a lot Daniel. Not only saved me money but also helped get the washing done without needing to call for help. Send you some cash for beer/coffee. Cheers

Dude. This was so helpful! The knife trick worked well for my wife and I until I got the time to unscrew the door. Then, screwing a piece of plastic seems to have worked as a permanent(?) fix! I even had some of those plastic bag clips at home!!!!
Thanks for this, my daughters partner broke the door earlier today, misses was fuming, I've been off work due to an accident since July 2023 so money is very tight at the moment, I saw this video and thought it's worth a go, less than an hour later, the door is back on and everything is fine, so thank you once again ❤❤
Thanks man, worked like a charm. If one does not have the IKEA plastic bag closure a piece of wood is also equivalently good. For the screws you want to use M3x12. I used M3x16 and one of them protruded at the other end, so I needed to paper grind the tip of the thread so no one will hurt their fingers at the sharp tip. Total cost: €0,07. Thanks Internet, thanks RUclips...

Thank you so much. With your video I could repair the door handle in no time. Those Ikea thingies are realy good though plastic, making me confident in the repair. You certainly deserved your coffee.

Brilliant use of the bag clip. I looked at drilling and screwing into position the cut down plastic clip fitting. However I chose to cut away the door facing, fit and glue the plastic piece in the newly formed rectangular hole. No chance of it working loose and its rigid, as its actually held in the body of the door handle. Works a treat.
thank you very much - really clear and helpful video. So happy that firstly I could open the door and secondly mend it for free. I ended up just using 2 screws in the position instead of a plastic bit.
Thank you so much, I've been through several videos before this one. I've had wire out, I've been yanking on the override strip, I've even been doing into the shed to find a special star head screw driver to take the top of the Washing machine off, only to find I can't release the catch there either. To see it was all so easy, all I needed was a butter knife. And I didnt need to pull it all out. Lol. Brilliant, wish I got to this video first. Thanks

Thank you and it worked!! It’s Sunday and we had my daughters school uniform in the washing machine when the door locked and would not open. We went crazy thinking how to get the clothes out for school the next day. This fix worked to open the door. Many thanks

Perfect workaround and a very solid one! Thank you very much, kind Sir. I used exactly the same kitchen clip in the same colour. To be honest, now it works better than before because the gap is smaller.
Thank you for this You tube fix i have followed your fix,and washing machine door working again and wife thinks i am the greatest (well for a short while ) Richard

Saved money and time. So useful! Thank you!! :) I simplified your solution and only used two screws. Works like a charm. It might be good to pre-drill so the plastic wont crack when inserting the screws.

Just completed the repair. Sometimes it’s hard to thank a person enough. Your video was so great and straightforward. A close up on the respires item would have been nice and I found it slightly difficult to find the exact spot to push the metal piece to open it (was lower than I thought) but seriously your video is amazing. I used screws from pencil sharpeners and the same plastic clip from ikea so it went smoothly. Thank you so much.

Many thanks for this, it described exactly my problem and I have been able to fix it just like you explained ! And before that I have spent a few hours searching on tutorials in French, but none of them described this problem. Great !
YAY Thank you!! it definitely worked and saved us a huge amount of money. We couldn't get the little plastic thing to work for us but tried it just with the two screws only and it worked!

Thank you Daniel - I enjoyed your video and it has saved me a £99 call out fee, plus whatever charges the crooks at Bosch charge for the part! Have a coffee on me PS a video on the trick on how to release the door when it is broken would be great too if you haven't done it (I found a guy who suggested a butter knife in the handle to push the lock mechanism up, worked well)

Excellent video. Gave me the confidence to take door off,and take it to pieces. I did not fancy drilling holes on door handle to fudge broken part, and glue does not work well on this type of plastic. Bosch says this door handle part is discontinued but I found an apparently identical part listed on Amazon for a Siemens machine. it fits perfectly and the door fixed for £15. Many thanks, Donation coming Daniel.

Hey! Superb advice and guidance. You seem to be inspiring us non-DIYers to have a go. Thankyou! When I had the door in pieces, I realised there are a number of weak spots in the plastic sections where the handle sits. No reinforcement whatsoever in the obvious stress spots. 50% of owners must have this issue in the 1st 5 years, or sooner. I reinforced another broken/worn section where the handle hinge(?) locates with the door (using another piece of the same green bag clip! Ha ha....I'm so proud of myself...) I have a number of other door closing issues, such as a slight drop caused by the main hinge mechanism which makes it v tricky to close the door, every time!! Again you have inspired me to try to fix this myself....not today though, as I bask in the glory of actually fixing something.... I've subscribed! Thanks again.
well I'm happy that i could help. if you want to help me too please subscribe to my channel :D I wish youtube would have a comment feature where we users could send pictures because I'd really like to see your version. Take care * Daniel
Thank you really.. million thanks.. the video was indeed helpful. We'll try to install a piece of plastic as shown but needs time to find the suitable piece Thanks again and keep making such super video.. NAGHAM from Egypt
RUclips saves the day again! 👏Such a simple tip; just a shame Bosch customer care couldn’t help me! I would have had to wait 2 weeks to get my washing out my machine 😬

Thanks! Just fixed my Siemens IQ700 using these instructions. Saved me a bundle of money and headache :-) Poor constructing indeed. That plastic is bound to give in sooner or later.
THANKYOU! I was able to superglue the broken bit back on (not strong enough on its own) and then using a fine drill and screws reinforced the piece much like you did. Very good work. Thanks again! Tony in New Zealand
Thanks for your valuable information here. As an Australian pensioner maintenance costs are a burden we hope to avoid. I am unable to identify the screwdriver used to undo the door hinge. You mention T20 but I missed the rest of the description. Can you assist here please? Regards

Thank you 🙏 for this perfect solution. I repaired the handle the way you described. Fixed it within 30 min with no costs. Perfect !!👍
I have repaired my washing machine door by watching your video, thanks a lot 👍🏼
I tried so many other methods to open the door before finding this video. Simple, effective and easy. My kind of DIY.

You just saved my laundry. I tried everything i found on yt and only this worked. Thank youuu

Thank you so much, this is the second time that stuck door happened to me and both of the time your great video save me.
Thank you so much. With your video I could repair the door handle in no time. Those Ikea thingies are realy good though plastic, making me confident in the repair. You certainly deserved your coffee.
I'm glad if I could help you with the video. If you also want to help me, then I would be happy if you subscribe to my channel. And if you are one of the kind people who sent me some money to my Paypal account as a token of appreciation, then I would like to thank you very much. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much. Your video is just perfect. Simple, short, to the point. It really helped me out here 👍
Brilliant use of the bag clip. I looked at drilling and screwing into position the cut down plastic clip fitting. However I chose to cut away the door facing, fit and glue the plastic piece in the newly formed rectangular hole. No chance of it working loose and its rigid, as its actually held in the body of the door handle. Works a treat.
thank you very much - really clear and helpful video. So happy that firstly I could open the door and secondly mend it for free. I ended up just using 2 screws in the position instead of a plastic bit.
Thank you so much, I've been through several videos before this one. I've had wire out, I've been yanking on the override strip, I've even been doing into the shed to find a special star head screw driver to take the top of the Washing machine off, only to find I can't release the catch there either.
To see it was all so easy, all I needed was a butter knife. And I didnt need to pull it all out. Lol.
Brilliant, wish I got to this video first.
Thanks

Precies gedaan wat gevraagd wordt in het filmpje en het werkt perfect. Dank je voor de tip. Scheelt ons veel kosten en of een nieuwe wasmachine.
Thankyou, this is possibly the most useful video on RUclips! 🙂
Thank you so much for putting up this video. If Bosch had any regard for customer service they would put a link to it.
I was working up to getting the really big screwdriver out but found you just in time!

Thank you and it worked!! It’s Sunday and we had my daughters school uniform in the washing machine when the door locked and would not open. We went crazy thinking how to get the clothes out for school the next day. This fix worked to open the door. Many thanks

That worked perfectly. Even the tip of using the plastic piece was ingenious. I've sent the price of a couple of pints.. cheers and thanks!
Thank you very much! Very good instructions! Instead of the plastic clip I only used the two screws. Works perfect.
Thanks very much for putting it clearly, it helped me to open the stuck door as the handle was broken exactly at the same place. Subscribed your channel, wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
You’re a legend! You just saved me a service callout fee. Thanks so much.
Your instruction saved our vacation! Thanks!
Brilliant. Thanks for the upload. My washing machine door failed just like yours & I carried out the same repair. Worked great. Thanks.

Thank you for the great and detailed video , just saved us a lot of time and money !!!
Keep up the good work !
Same problem/issues we got with the door who not would be opened until l’ve found his video. Masters with a lot of
ideas.🤠👍
Perfect workaround and a very solid one! Thank you very much, kind Sir. I used exactly the same kitchen clip in the same colour. To be honest, now it works better than before because the gap is smaller.
Thank you for this You tube fix i have followed your fix,and washing machine door working again and wife thinks i am the greatest (well for a short while )

Thx for this great instruction - you are a washing maschine god and I worship you👍🏻
Saved money and time. So useful! Thank you!! :) I simplified your solution and only used two screws. Works like a charm. It might be good to pre-drill so the plastic wont crack when inserting the screws.

Amazing, when my door wouldn't open I thought it was new machine time, following your instructions I fixed it for free!!!

Followed the instruction on the video and it worked out perfectly. Thanks very much for saving us lots of money.

Just completed the repair. Sometimes it’s hard to thank a person enough. Your video was so great and straightforward. A close up on the respires item would have been nice and I found it slightly difficult to find the exact spot to push the metal piece to open it (was lower than I thought) but seriously your video is amazing. I used screws from pencil sharpeners and the same plastic clip from ikea so it went smoothly. Thank you so much.

Huge thanks, your knife trick was the only way I was able to open the door of our Logixx 7..
Many thanks for this, it described exactly my problem and I have been able to fix it just like you explained !
And before that I have spent a few hours searching on tutorials in French, but none of them described this problem. Great !
YAY Thank you!! it definitely worked and saved us a huge amount of money. We couldn't get the little plastic thing to work for us but tried it just with the two screws only and it worked!

Just came across this. I have the exact same model and couldn’t figure out how to open the stuck door. Thank you so much!!

Thank you! The black release cord didn't work, your knife trick was just what I needed.
managed to fix the washing machine door following your amazing advise, thank you for the video!
Thank you so much. Googled and tried several other tips, but this one saved my day ❤️
Thank you Daniel - I enjoyed your video and it has saved me a £99 call out fee, plus whatever charges the crooks at Bosch charge for the part! Have a coffee on me PS a video on the trick on how to release the door when it is broken would be great too if you haven't done it (I found a guy who suggested a butter knife in the handle to push the lock mechanism up, worked well)

Excellent video. Gave me the confidence to take door off,and take it to pieces. I did not fancy drilling holes on door handle to fudge broken part, and glue does not work well on this type of plastic. Bosch says this door handle part is discontinued but I found an apparently identical part listed on Amazon for a Siemens machine. it fits perfectly and the door fixed for £15. Many thanks, Donation coming Daniel.

@@danielsrealmofenglish4311 i shall dubdcrobe right away 👍👏
Hey! Superb advice and guidance. You seem to be inspiring us non-DIYers to have a go. Thankyou!
When I had the door in pieces, I realised there are a number of weak spots in the plastic sections where the handle sits. No reinforcement whatsoever in the obvious stress spots. 50% of owners must have this issue in the 1st 5 years, or sooner. I reinforced another broken/worn section where the handle hinge(?) locates with the door (using another piece of the same green bag clip! Ha ha....I'm so proud of myself...)
I have a number of other door closing issues, such as a slight drop caused by the main hinge mechanism which makes it v tricky to close the door, every time!! Again you have inspired me to try to fix this myself....not today though, as I bask in the glory of actually fixing something....
I've subscribed!
Thanks again.

Thank you really.. million thanks.. the video was indeed helpful. We'll try to install a piece of plastic as shown but needs time to find the suitable piece
Thanks again and keep making such super video..

Thank you for sharing this Sir. I have printed the broken latch and it's good as new.
RUclips saves the day again! 👏Such a simple tip; just a shame Bosch customer care couldn’t help me! I would have had to wait 2 weeks to get my washing out my machine 😬

THANK YOU!! Just spent an hour taking the top off and digging threw the machine when all I needed was a knife 😂
Thanks! Just fixed my Siemens IQ700 using these instructions. Saved me a bundle of money and headache :-) Poor constructing indeed. That plastic is bound to give in sooner or later.
if you want to help me too, please sing up for my channel 😊
Would be a great help!
Legendary video. Thanks for saving me a lot of headache.
Cant express how much i love you.
THANKYOU! I was able to superglue the broken bit back on (not strong enough on its own) and then using a fine drill and screws reinforced the piece much like you did. Very good work. Thanks again! Tony in New Zealand

Many thanks. It was very helpful for me to repair the broken door.
Fixed it exactly like you did! Worked super and thank you so much!
Thanks for your valuable information here. As an Australian pensioner maintenance costs are a burden we hope to avoid. I am unable to identify the screwdriver used to undo the door hinge. You mention T20 but I missed the rest of the description. Can you assist here please? Regards
