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 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, great news that you have been able to open the door! If you do need a replacement handle, you can check out the eSpares website here: www.espares.co.uk/search/pt1556/washing-machines/door-parts
Omg I couldn't believe when my lock broke and I found this video, what a shock I had. My machine is the exact machine you were demonstrating on. The strimmer wire worked exactly as you showed in the video. Thank you so much.
Very helpful thank you so much - simple, easy to understand, clear, no silly music, very professional. Saved your channel to the top of my bookmarks. Thank you
Great video and the string trick did it for me...after a few attempts and a really good pull! Thanks for the help in getting the door open and I can now see what the problem is with the lock.
Great video - I had to use a flat screwdriver from the inside of the machine to open my broken door. Ordered the replacement outside door lock mechanism from eSpares at 20:50 on Friday evening and it was delivered on Saturday afternoon via next day priority posting. All for £23 plus about £7 postage. Fantastic service - Couldn't be happier!😀
Hi, thanks for your comment...this is great news! Well done for replacing the door lock and saving so much money compared to buying a new appliance! Glad eSpares could help you with it!
Thanks for this helpful video! My washing machine door has been stuck closed for 10 months and the instructions in this video helped me get it unlocked. I don’t know why I didn’t try to watch this video when it first happened but I’m glad it’s working now
You are simply genius. Handle for my samsung washing machine brakes and have full washed load trapped inside. No clue how to open and expecting great trouble. I googled it and your video comes up . Using thread I have managed to open the door in no time. Thanks heaps mate.
Matt from Espares - you are a genius!! Thank you SO much - it's worked on an Asko machine. It was the "gently striking the lock" as you suggested that got it to open. Oh the relief! Thank you again!
Thank you!!!!!!! All my work clothes were stuck inside! Door popped open with a flat blade using the credit card trick, no damage at all. Really appreciate it!
I am a new teacher in Kuwait and do not want to bother the people in the country with unnecessary request - as they are more than helpful and kinf already. I am NOT a technical.person, very clumsy, but your video was 100% helpful. By the way, my washing machine's handle is in the inside of the door and slight, but the unplugging and wait method did the thing! You're awesome sir and your explanations are so easy and your voice so calm! Thanks a lot! 🦈💪🧜♂️
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.
Hi Carolyn, thanks for sharing that you have been able to open your washing machine door because of one of the tips in our video. We are pleased to hear our video has helped you!
My LG washing machine door got stuck . I tried to open it for some time then searched for any help and watched your video..I used the card option to swipe through the side and the lock got released ...Simple but powerful trick .Thanks Heroe ..Great Help
Struggling still 😢 I’m replacing the catch for a 3rd time as it has cracked again. I can’t get it in with the wire trick this time though. Even though I managed twice previously! Doing my bloody head in. Any more tips are appreciated!
Our door handle broke on our Samsung, so couldn't get it open. First search got this video. I did the nylon line method and took me 10 seconds to release it! I love people like this. Thanks.
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.
It really works!! I just used the string method, only I had no string, so I stretched a plastic bag, followed instructions and it opened, I did it, thanks a million!!!🎶🥂🧠
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 🤣🤣🤣
Dom Inik yeah that worked instantly for me too! After unplugging it for over 5 minutes and trying the credit card technique to no avail! Just a quick tap and it opened! I was truly shocked!!
eSpares your video has made me very happy tonight! I didn't think a quick tap would work at all, but it did, instantly too!! Have a big kiss from me!! 😘
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
thank you...was a life saver today. my door knob had broken. after seeing your video, i tried with twine but it broke the first time. The second time i tried with nylon and the very first time i tried, i heard the sweet sound of the door click open...
Hi, I have an old’ish LG intellowasher 7kg WD-8013F, the door wouldn’t open and I instantly started to wonder how much I was going to be ripped off for a visit/repair, I haven’t got fishing line so I tried an old credit card, just pushed it in slightly from the side and it worked, thanks VERY much.
Many thanks! Our 15 year old daughter was in crisis, having her new bras imprisoned. The line method worked brilliantly. I used 50lb test nylon fishing line...opened first time.
Thanks for the video - clothes now out of machine, and I ordered a new door handle kit from you to fix it. I'm very grateful - an excellent series of videos and saved me a considerable amount of money. Cheers, and thanks!
Thank you so much for this! Tagging on the video made it very easy to look for an answer in a semi-panic situation 😂. The nylon line method was the one that worked.
