The washing machine hatch does not open?
Usually, after you finish washing and rinsing, the washing machine hatch (tank) automatically unlocks and you can easily open the door and hang up the laundry. However, sometimes it happens that the washing has finished, and the washing machine does not open. What is the problem here? Let's find out.
In the case where the washing machine does not open, do not panic and forcefully pull the handle of the door (tank).
We recommend that you wait a little longer to start, rather than calling a washing machine repair service right away.Sometimes after a couple of minutes, the door will unlock and open as before. If this did not happen - sort out the possible causes.
Does not open the washing machine reasons:
It happens that the washing machine does not open for the following reasons:
- The machine is not completely drained and the level sensor blocked the door. And visually the water in the tank may not be detected. Solution: try to clean the filter on the bottom of the machine. If this does not help - call a specialist.
- Program failure. Solution: try to run another cycle (washing or rinsing), perhaps at the end of it the door will open without problems.
- The lid lock is broken due to wear or mechanical damage. Solution: repair or replace the lock.
- The water level sensor is broken. On your own here is also unlikely to cope. Only repair or replace the sensor will help.
Emergency opening of the hatch
If nothing helped and the washing machine does not open, then there is another option how to get the laundry out. Sometimes models of washing machines are equipped with a special cable for emergency opening of the hatch. It is located at the bottom of the machine. In order to see it, you will need to open the bottom cover on the front of the machine. If you see an orange cable in the far corner, pull it and the door will open. If your model does not have an emergency cable, then only a technician can open the machine.
From all of the above it can be seen that most often with a problem when the washing machine does not open, it is better contact a specialistFor the prices of services, see the section prices.
