even after switching off the power, the issue may lie with the door interlock system or the printed circuit board. This video demonstrates straightforward techniques for releasing and opening the door to access your clothes when the washing machine door remains resolutely shut upon cycle completion.

Your washing machine door won't open this video will show you a technique on how to open a washing machine door in minutes.
There are mainly reasons that a washing machine door won't open:
1 The washing machine door handle may have broken.
2 The pin that holds the door shut may have jammed due to the door mechanism being jammed.
3 The electronic door lock called an interlock may be broken.
4 The washing machine may still be full of water and therefore not letting you open the door (See other video on how to drain your washing machine down when full and it will show you how to fix the problem)

I had to use the 3rd option to get the washer door open. Thank you so much for the tip. The clothes had been trapped in the machine for 10 days. We couldn't get anyone to repair the machine let alone open the door. Cheers mate you're a lifesaver.
Thankyou! The second option worked on my samsung. I used a wire from the back of a picture frame. My husband will be so proud & grateful I didn't require his assistance on this one!
good idea it
iam glad we could help you can allways get a beer in lol

Thank you Thank you . I really can't thank you enough. Used your method with lawn strimmer wire worked a treat . Handle broke on a indesit integral iwde126 . Only 6 months old . Get this indesit wanted £199:00 to call out because we broke it and we weren't hard with it . Ordered a handle from indesit for £20:
Anyway thank you so much again .

Just tried this after 24 hours of not being able to open the washing machine door. Worked perfectly
I used a wire coat hanger and it worked really well. Thanks, you're a life saver!
Thank you! I did this with a Leicester of sewing string and it worked! Quick and easy! Thank you much for your helpful video!
Genius, it worked. Able to get my washing out a day and many million efforts later. Thank you
Thank you so much sir for teaching how to open broken handle washing machine my wash machine handle had broken and I just tried like you did and opened the door of wash machine
Thank God for wisdom which he has given to You praise the Lord Jesus

Thank you Paul so much!! Wish I had checked TH-cam first-would have saved me time and a headache!! Got the washer door right open!! Enjoy your Stella!! :)

Hi there. Machine was locked for more than 3 days. Could not figure out how to open the "b*******y" thing until I saw your video. Tried with a string first and was not strong enough then used some garden wire and hurray it worked! thanks a lot for great advice man!

gd eve sir..i got problem with my WM sharp. it wont open when the machine is stop. how to figure it out. thx
Thank you for the video, really helped.
The wire couldn't pass the bottom opening and trying to do it just damaged the plastic around it. I eventually passed the wire into the up opening, pulled it till an almost zero angle formed, and then targeted the down opening. Happy
Thank you ! This proved invaluable this morning 👍
Just saved me a couple of hundred dollars on a service call out fee!! Works a treat!! I used cooking twine...
I am glad I could help you Sarah with this problem.

Hi mate, thanks a lot for your comment. All I'm trying to do is teach in the correct way that everyone understands.
It would be really helpful for me to either share the channel or at least post it to your friends.

THANK YOU, saved my family money.
Thanks! I have a maytag apartment size and your video was the first one that showed the pin faced inside… once I did get it open the lever handle went back into place too. Maybe a safety thing?
Also works with a creditcard or something, when you said it only requires the string to push the locking mechanism I pushed a card between that area and started pushing inwards, and pulling the door at the same time. Worked for me.
Thank you so much for this. I looked at about 20 different sites all with nothing I could really use. This worked for me and my Samsung J1045AV frontloader with a broken door latch. Machine was powered off, unplugged from the wall when I unhooked the latch with fishing line using the method he used on the Bosch (threading it through and pulling it toward the side the machine latches on). If you have trouble opening it with the machine ON you may have an electro-magnetic safety switch keeping the latch from releasing; unplugging will solve this.

Very useful, my Samsung broke today and I couldn't open the door anymore,.
but now it's open again, thank you !
Oh my gosh thank you! Saved my gym gear from being ruined!!
Thank you so much for this fantastic tip. This allowed me to fit a replacement door handle to my Samsung Washing Machine.
I am so glad we could help and Thank you so much for the £10 Beer donation. all the best Paul
Fantastic help thank you! A small piece has broken off which holds the pecker in place. The door handle does not work! Any advise would be much appreciated? I'm thinking I might need to change the locking mechanism?
you just save the day! Simply fantastic! God bless you and your familiy!
cheers,
Fernando

Fantastic - just worked a treat using picture hanging wire. I had taken the top off and was stuck as to what to do next when I saw this. Thank you for sharing

Mine a Hoover AM120 .. Had to remove ..tare off.. black interlock cover and take innards of this component out. It's operated by cable. I can't reassemble as it shredded and has several parts/springs etc. least clothes been retrieved. Thx. A moc up of that be great and screws torx ,hex and any special tools due to ltd room.👍
THANK YOU A MILLION THOUSAND TIMES!
Thanku so much this trick really worked for me in this lockdown...thanks
Thanks man. I used the cable from my earphones and i opened the door!!!
Thanks for the video, did it successfully. Will maybe play important role in saving my relationship. :)
I have a Bosch Machine. How do I take off the side panel so I can access the door latch?
Brilliant!! It's the weekend and a load of washing was stuck in the machine! Not ideal... Thank you :-)
Great. It Works. Thanks a lot.. I got stuck in the morning. But problem Resolved. Amol From India.
Thank you! Got the door open!! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much! saved our clothes!!!!!!
I ways very Happy to see every thing about washing machine good work every ONE (Ali)
Any idea if the pin of LG WD 65160 TP faces in or out?? HELP PLEASE!! :) thank you
Thanks!!! TIP: tied some gut around the hooking catch afterwards, let it hang out the door and was able to pull at a slant it open for washes afterwards until I got a new part.
Mine was the second one. I thought it wasn't gonna work as it was awkward and my wire was from a pop up laundry basket but somehow, as if by magic, it yielded. Woohoo! I thank you.

Hi. My Bosch 500 series washer is giving me an E:27 error. The door latch isn't catching. Any suggestions? With 3 teens in the home, I use this machine daily.
I used a broken guitar string and it worked great!

Very clever, thank you for sharing!
Hello. I opened my wash machine's door by using a chord. I replaced the handle as it was broken. But now the door cannot lock. Is it possible that the interlock is just blocked and it's no need to be replaced? What can make it lock?
Off to try and help the little old lady next door who's door we carn't open, I will be back to let you know if I am successful. D👍 Grt site
i hope we helped you help her.
Worked great with my Samsung washer.

Thanks for your tip. It worked for me.
Thank you so much for this! Thought I was going to lose one of my favourite jackets!!
Thank u very much you just added to my knowledge
thanks a lot for this information
Thanks, it worked well with mine that was stucked !
Thank you so much! I was freaking out as I needed to get my clothes out for work tomorrow. My machine has a latch that pulls inwards, I didn't have any cable, cord or string so I got a skinny wire coat hanger and pushed the flat side through the gap and that worked
Thank you! It was a tight fit on a 2010 Samsung but I was using an old audio cable which is probably thicker but it worked.
saved the day. It worked.
Thank you. You saved my day
Thank you worked a treat......5 Stars!!
You just saved my life!
To use this technique, is the machine ON ?
Great, will forward to a friend who has a Bosch with jammed door
