If you are doing the second method, make sure that you remove the plastic part which holds the lock in place. otherwise the latch wont be able to open afterwards!!! You really should have mentioned this in the guide as most folks wont think about it
Nicely explained how to fix problem, my Washing had the same issue, I called Urban Clap, he asked Rs 1500 for repair, however I connected with IFB spars dealer and get the lock for Rs 300. and replaced on my own, now my washing machine started working fantasic , Thanks for on line video with out which difficult to replace
I want to say not only did this help me fix my WM spin cycle, but it is also a bit of art.. it is a rare thing to have something explained with such obvious enjoyment.
I have applied the 2nd option using a paper chip inside the door lock. After that machine is running. But the door is not opening. Tried after 1 hr also but still the door is not opening.. Kindly help with your suggestions. What is the next step to open the door.
thank you so much, i manage ( again ) to fix mine, wasn't same system ( much older ) but i managed to bypass with a bridge wire when i realise the dents ( pushed by the door lock ) were a bit loose. Like a "U" becoming slowly with time a "V" so i closed them slowly with a tool and off you go... ready for another 10years ! :D
In method 2, if you press the bi-metal down, you also press the pin down that locks the whole thing. So if the problem was that the machine stays locked, that method will not help. I took the little plastic pin from the bi-metal to fix that.
Dear brother... thanks for such nice explanation with video..as per this video, shorted phase with common. Machine working fine & program also run successfully. My machne is IFB front load ,Senorita DX 5.5kg model. After succesful completion of progeamme, what are the front panel LED light conditions. My machone showing , Door - red Led continuous glowing, Active Led geen color blinking
thanks Good one! it would be more safe to use the original plug to prevent any wire lose cause it is high current. then 1. to remove the heating power pin; 2. it is necessary to remove the door lock plastic tab to allow the door can be opened
Hello, I need your help. I bypassed the switch just by adding some thick tape inside the internal part of switch to remain pressed and make contact all the time. I did not remove the thermal sensor nor the spring mechanism. Now the door is permanently locked and unable to open😅. Even when i try mechanical force bypass by pressing the lock with haxo blade it doesnt work. Please guide to solve this thanks
Thanks a lot for this video. Ton of help. If you have got a Samsung machine it might work for you as well. Just connect the blue with the two black wires and leave the red one out.
I njoyed the video... thanks a ton... I replaced with a new one and issue for starting the machine is closed... but I am not able to open the door after wash as the led displays.. so I switch off power after couple of minutes I am opening... what for I am not able to open door upon completion of washing
when machine working the small heater inside the switch is on and it will heat the bimettallic strip and it expands. this metallic strip pushes a plastic piece close to your door knob which prevent the door to open. when switch off the heater getting off and so the bimettalic strip cools down and pull back the locking plastic. thats how it works.

Thanks for the video. I am also facing a similar issue. I replaced the old lock with new one.

Hi, In our IFB washing machine front door lock phase voltage is only 60, so its unable to generate sufficient heat and lock is not working. Please let me know how to check and fix the phase voltage. Thanks.
Hello sir after using this door lock setting, now next process doesn't start I mean screen stuck at "door locked and child lock available" status. Please guide me what to do?
@@opiritetariah If you use 2nd method, you will need to remove the small plastic rectangular block inside the switch which locks the door once the machine is switched on. If this is not removed, you will not be able to unlock the door again. The disadvantage is that the door can be opened even when the machine is running, so there is no safety. Better to put a new switch as soon as possible.
I have applied the 2nd option using a paper chip inside the door lock. After that machine is running. But the door is not opening. Tried after 1 hr also but still the door is not opening. Tried from opening the top of the machine also but could'nt able to do so. Kindly help with your suggestions. What is the next step to open the door. .
For the door to open the common & phase has to be disconnected. The method illustrated in the video can be used to verify a faulty door switch. Not to repair the switch rather.
@@ThePlatformTV100 Thanks! makes sense (The method illustrated in the video can be used to verify a faulty door switch) Verify and go and purchase a new door switch and replace it. While buying go with the older one to get same model.
@@safirab9436 idk...this method didn't work for me...the door got locked but the washing machine won't even start.. Btw for ur case it should probably open just by cutting the main switch..
@@abhichi then your problem is probably from the dashboard... It did not open at all I had to open the upper part and break the interlock..... By doing that, the problem got shifted to the dashboard as the safety key stopped working..... Had to call someone to fix it.... Sad life
If the door open Push the plastic lock( plastic between the front and back layer of switch which is movable by pushing) in between to right. if door closed open top cover and push the lock. to open the top cover see th-cam.com/video/fY9MSttelbY/w-d-xo.html
in second method when the bimetallic strip expands a small plastic lock moves and lock the door. when bimetallic it cools it may go back. if not you have to push back the sliding plastic lock with screw driver. if not accessible from front need to open the top cover. to open top cover see th-cam.com/video/fY9MSttelbY/w-d-xo.html
hello sir good day to you.if you said lecture it will be better than this music.ok anyhave i have doubt? that which two point are jumpered?common and neutral?
when you bypass keep the locking (holding) portion of the door switch in the same place. Jam the sliding/moving plastic in side the switch which prevent the door open after wash
Please don't do this!!! Very dangerous especially if there are kids around . Never work on an appliance whilst power going through it. It can kill you. And never bypass safety features. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, or in this case with the door lock, if the door is opened during a spin, it can pull kids' arms inside and cause degloving, multiple fractures or even worse...amputation !!! Instead, replace the door lock completely. If you are not confident carrying out the work, pay a professional because it will guarantee safety and piece of mind. There is a reason they charge what they do, it's because the know how to repair your appliance properly and safely. There are far more risks thank non professionals are aware of. Please be safe , especially if you have kids!
@@whirlpool_addict_ yes I was aware of this but thanks for bringing my attention to it . I don’t have children . But the people who attempt this at home after watching may have children.
