This video was a great guide to replacing the handle on my hoover washing machine after my Mrs broke the handle as she opened it! Fixing the spring mechanism correctly onto the handle was the awkward tricky part but after some tinkering it worked all sweet like new and the Mrs was very pleased and saved £60 on an engineer coming over. Thanks
Hi Hozefa aDAMJI, double result. Saving money and in the Mrs good books for a bit.
:-)
I'm a women and this video helped me fix it! This has saved me a fortune in plumbers/call out fees.
Hi Ninette, thank you for your post and glad our video helped you fix it yourself.
I have a Beko WM74155LW, slightly different to strip, needing to remove the wire on the door rubber carefully to prise the door rubber back a little to enable you to get to the hinge back plate. Other than that, very easy fit. Took no more than 20 minutes to fit as well as cleaning the parts and surrounds up a little.
Our pleasure. Thanks.
It took me hours and hours trying to get this working!
The biggest challenge for me was the spring. Even when placed correctly, it wouldn't create any tension. That's because unlike the spring in this video, mine looked different and didn't create the tension from the resistance slots but from the lid pressing on top of it.Once I got the lid pressing on it correctly the mechanism started working as expected
Mike, we love you. Yours truly, Two American Girls living in London
You're welcome.
Thanks.
Hi, thanks so much for the video; it was a massive help and I managed to successfully replace the handle! you were right though about lining up the spring handle and catch through, that was very tricky!
Thanks for the comments Anthony, glad we helped.
Most concise explanation, door handle broken, part ordered from yourselves!
Hi John, thank you for your post and glad the video helped.
Top tips... the pin in the kit is blunt ended, my original pin was a bit pointy ended. Using the original pin made it much easier. I also used a little bit of tape to hold the ends of the spring in place. it's a fiddly job, but have patience, it is possible!!
No problem. Thanks!
I tried to do this with the door still attached but couldn't get the pin back in. Thanks for the video. All fixed now
Happy to help!
When removing the screws to the hinge you need to be careful as there may be a plate on the other side of the panel that the screws go into which will fall down when you remove the screws. Take the top panel of the machine off and check as you remove the screws as you may need to hold and lift this off before it falls down. Thanks!
Just remove the wire holding the door rubber.
Thanks sooooo much for this. I'm a useless DIYer and thanks to this, I've just fixed my handle!
:-)
Hi
Thanks very much and well done you!
my spring was a bit different but this guide helped me out a lot. thank you
Glad to hear you sorted the machine out.
Muchas Gracias.

Thank you very much for this video, it helped me fix my machine all by myself. Thank you so much.
Well done Hannah! Glad to hear this. Thanks for tuning in!
thank you very much .this video helped me a lot ....from venezuela
Hi Jose, good to hear from you in Venezuela and glad our video helped.
watched video /bought new handle kit did not find it as easy as this guy, it took me ages to eventually fit pin through all three parts. the difference was my handle was a little wider and covered the holes the pin goes through so lining up was a nightmare got there eventually though at least the basic method was there oh my machine was Indesit wd12x
Thank you, very much.
Happy to help. 😊
you saved my life, thank you!

Thanks the video worked great, and replaced the handle no trouble. I'm now getting an error that says the door won't lock. Have tried everything, do you think I need to replace the lock?

hello my indesit black washer handle spring feels lose also the hook has snapped where do I go for the correct door fittings for my model and thanks very nice explained video
Hi Damo, use the link above (bit.ly/1Ahdiq8) and we will sort you out.
Hi,
Our video: "How to open a washing machine door that's stuck closed" may help.
Best of luck.
شكرا
انت مرحب بك (Thanks: You are very welcome).
I learnt alot from this video so thanks but it would have been nice to see a bit more about the spring placement and how it works. Through trial and error and 2 hours I managed to fit the spring properly and replace the handle on our Hoover washing machine.
Hi kingshearer2, when possible we will do a video on this door handle as we have had previous comments saying customers have found this difficult.
Thanks mate for all your help.
I tried threading the pin through the spring and handle first before attaching it to the door to make sure everything was okay. I then made a few attempts at threading the pin into the door and eventually got there. I then realised the spring was working properly and I had it the wrong way round. I was annoyed! But after another few goes got the right configuration. Just keep fiddling with it mate and it will come together.
kingshearer2 Glad you got there in the end and thanks for your feedback as it may help others. :-)
Morden101 Take the door off to help get the parts in position easier.
Also try fitting handle spring and pin first and then partially remove the pin just enough to push the hook under the spring before fitting the pin back to its correct position.
Could you tell me which size torx bit you used please?
Hi Mike, I've taken the door off, split the two halves and exposed the latch mechanism only to find at one end where the pin slides through the hole the plastic has snapped off so there is only half a hole on that end. The rest is fine. Probably too much banging! I've still got the top half and thought of sticking it back on with superglue!!! I reckon I need a new inner door half, the half where the spring and latch and pin attach. Do you sell just the half? Des.
Look for your full model number from the label around the door. Depending on manufacturer some will supply the door frame, others will only supply the door complete.
Is the screwdriver you use T20? Is it T15? please tell me.
I've take the door off from the machine and now the screws don't bite, what do I do now
On some machines there is a metal plate behind the front to hold the hinge screws. If this has come loose retrieve it from the base and take the seal away from he front panel to place it back in position while you refit the screws.
thanx you just saved me 65 euros
Thanks for the feedback Anna. 😊
Thanks man. My wife borke a handle from the machine and I though I have to buy a new one.
Hope we have helped you sort it out now.
Got my new door handle kit today and have been trying for 4 hours to line everything up so the pin goes through all the holes...About to scream and stamp my feet...Anyone got any tips as to what I am doing wrong??? thanks
thanks mate !! save me a lot trouble from the mrs..lol :)
Nice one Minty, out of trouble with brownie points gained too, result. :-)
Hi, I have a machine with the same prroblem but I was wondering if I could use the old latch and spring because the handle is the only part that is broken.
Hi Ann, you can just use the handle but depending on model the part may be supplied by the manufacturers with the spring, hook and pin.
When removing the door what happens if you remove the screws the washing machine side instead of the door aide?
How would you do this on a Hoover HNL 6166-80? The spring is longer and different to this one.
I'm really struggling to get the pin through. The latch is seriously stiff on it and won't budge. Any suggestions?
This is almost what I need, but my handle broke off and the door is still shut. Can't figure out how to open it to take the door off and continue. Any help?
Can you upload to replace white knight small dryer door hands please. Mine wouldn’t stay closed. So ordered a new kit. Fitted it and the door still won’t stay shut. Pulling my hair out.
What is your full model number Sharon?.
MOD 0312 371 15190/23 serial num 1104272229
It’s the handle. I bought a new kit from you. Fitted it as I took the old one off and still loose no tension and won’t stay close 😕 thanks for replying
Hi Sharon, sorry we do not have a video. You must check the spring is in the correct position to return the hook and handle to the 'closed side' when released.
eSpares thanks. I’ve tried all ways. But the spring is not in a separate and inside the hook bit. So it’s locked into position, 😕 looks like broom handle wedged against it will have to do 😕 I’ve looked everywhere to find help videos but no joy. Appreciate your advice. But don’t know wat it looked like before breaking.
@MsChEiVoUz Just wouldn't be able to tell you without working on that washer, which we haven't done. However, you could try our customer services (0844 375 3 375) for a part diagram or maybe another RUclips commenter might have replaced that specific handle and know...
how would you get the door open if it snaps in closed position. it wont open for some reason.
+Asif Khan The handle is likely to be broken, see another of our videos:
ruclips.net/video/s-_x2tSmd0A/видео.html
In the video we show opening from below but it may be easier by removing the top to access the back of the lock.
great video and service Mike. I'm also a girl and proud to say I've got a Philco WM1892 Washing machine that must be, oooh, 25 years old? For the first time ever, I've found a small bit of metal has broken away on the door clip, and now the door won't close. Do you know if this is the same approx as Indesit. Would I use a door interlock, a door handle, or a door boot if I was to repair? Is it the same issue as replacing the door handle you show on the Indesit? many thanks!
ps I'm actual his wife but signed in as him - oops!
+Mr kriton Papadopoulos The handle is shown here: www.espares.co.uk/product/es482856 the spring may not be available.
+eSpares Hi - the handle is still intact. I've just taken the door off (thanks for showing me how :-) ) and it's the little metal bracket that is broken. It it bolted aroundthe handle lock, do you sell this part? What is this?
+Haz Athens unless you mean the metal piece around the door latch is the spring you mean?
+Haz Athens Looking in more detail we appear to be out of stock for any parts of the lock or handle. If you wish we can contact the manufacturers to check if you fill in the details required at: www.espares.co.uk/contact/sales
Is a Indesit WIA washing machine series
What is your problem?.
how do you open the door with no handle on, and washing still inside? help
For information on this see another of our videos: ruclips.net/video/s-_x2tSmd0A/видео.html
will the work on the indesit WD10 model??
Hi David, the handles on most makes of machine are very similar and although there may be a few little differences we are sure with this video you should be able to figure it out.
Hello I want your assistance I want to change the washing machine the handle of the door
The brand is indesit W120EU The original code is c00075323.I have seen several pictures in the internet who is ready but I do not know what is the correct there is a video on the model of LAUNDRY if you know HELP ME thanks.
This video should be very similar to your machine if not identical.
What size Torxhead?
Hi JDboker1, a Torx 15 screwdriver was used to remove the door.
what is that sound?2
what is that sound?
fix it yourself
Thanks a lot
+Paul Drake :-)
how would you get the door open if it snaps in closed position. it wont open for some reason.
+Asif Khan If the door is stuck because the handle is broken see another video: ruclips.net/video/s-_x2tSmd0A/видео.html
You can open the door from the top as well following this information.
Thank you.. yes that would be a mission as its integrated. And wont come out. String method wont work either seems the hook may be facing other way. Will have to take it out somehow and follow the instructions in the video. Else its £££spent . Dishwasher has given up at the same time. Both appliances only 2-3 yrs old.
+Asif Khan The likely cause of the door handle breaking is some one impatient applying to much force while it is locked. If your dishwasher will not empty see another video:
ruclips.net/video/M0W9pzBZ-DI/видео.html
Oh the dishwasher empties. And fills after programme set but just wont wash or spray etc. Steam still works but no wash. Could it be the motor?
+Asif Khan It could be the motor, see another video:
