Yes.... Taking the plug out of the socket for 5 mins, then plugging back and power-on made the Hotpoint Washing Machine Door open... Thank you so much 😎👌.... This is amazing video, you definitely helped wasting a lot of time and panicking. Fully appreciated 🙏
Thank you so much for this video, this has been happening to my washing machine alot recently til finally I couldn't get It. Your video got it opened for me!!! 😊 Thanks again!!! 👍
Great video. The string trick worked a treat. Found it very easy to do and popped open almost straight away. The handle is broken hence why it wasn't opening. Not sure why the emergency release didn't work though given the issue. Still I was able to get my laundry out and the replacement handle is on it's way. Thank you.
Thanks, this Hotpoint doesn't have an emergency release tab but the credit card trick did the job. It was t Really helpful that I could see the catch on your video as its not my machine and I didn't know how it waa supposed to open. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! I was done in 15 mins and my washing machine works again! The "damn" modern Hotpoint doesn't have a lever for emergency opening. Had to drain the filter on the bottom for the door to open. Thankfully, it was only about 2l of water. Thank you for the help once again!
Thanks you save our towels as the machine keeps tripping the electric and although the manual stated there was override it did not state how. TH-cam is great.
@ can let me know hotpoint machine then try start only all socket breaker trip before no have issue last day start this issue other electric power ok just socket breaker issue
Thanks for the good ideas. I was actually looking for a door unlock code, eg some secret combination of button presses. I am sure there must be some way to unlock it with this method.
OMG IT WORKED! ✨Thank you so much, I’ve used step 3. I saw that the pull lever on my Hotpoint is on the left side, and I had initially gotten scared that I couldn't find it on the right side near the drain :)) but it worked like magic 🎉
I'm so pleased I found an expert on the same machine my Mum has. She just phoned me to say the lights are on permanently. She has switched it off by the mains for an hour, and then after switching it back on, they still wont go out. Have you got any ideas how to fix it please? Or anyone else?
We had a similar issue with this model & unfortunately it died after that and was likely an electrical fault. Depends how old it is whether you decide to try a repair\fix or get a new washing machine. Good luck.
@@LurgsHowToGuides Thank you for getting back to me so soon. I suspect it is the computer panel and it's about 10 years old, so I'll take a look at it on Saturday, but I'm guessing it's a case of buying a new one too.. Thanks again for responding though.
@@djGreenALERT Yes a call out or repair could be £60 + any parts so £100+ and you could get a brand new machine for £200 ish. I’ve got videos how to disconnect and connect washing machines, it’s fairly easy. Good luck when you have a look.

Well son-of-a-b!tch, it worked!!! I got to step 5, had tried it a few times and was ready to give up as i wasnt going to try step.6. Gave it one more go then bang, the door popped open!! The door mechanism is broken, but thanks to your tips I am still able to use the washing machine to do washes, thank you so much!! 👍🏿
Our Hotpoint doesn't have one of these plastic pull down levers at the bottom. Had a look with a torch & a mirror up the hole where it should be, can't see anything. The door handle doesn't have a moving latch either, it's just a handle.
@@LurgsHowToGuides Thanks, did a rinse cycle & it opened, used it a 2nd time & still OK. Most likely an intermittent fault. If so maybe a new machine is the best option.
So I’ve just come home from work and mine won’t open. Took the bottom off no green pull tab. Credit card method won’t work and I’ve unplugged it all too. I’m at my wits end with it….what else can I do?
Had issues with my machine nkt pumping out, just wanted to get my cloths out. Tried the credit card on the door and thr machine started working. Think my toddler must of damaged the door and it was causing the failure
@@LurgsHowToGuides so we had a baby sock in the pump, what i thought was the bearings which would of been a £184 part is the shock absorber which is a £11 replace which is nice xD
I wish I'd seen this video because we went for 6 break it something wrong because changed latch and interlock but the door won't lock and when I turn the washer on you can hear the interlock clicking but it won't lock copied everything but still?
Reason this happens a lot is the crap quality of the latch >The door handles have a plastic section that forces the metal latch >The plastic breaks....!

Aaaand it turned out that my misery was caused by a colour catching tissue, sucked into the filter. Lesson learned, manicure ruined 😂
Colour catchers and hair clips are the most common. We never use colour catchers, way too risky and do they even work!
It just worked perfect with card & thread combination. Thanks a ton.
Great news. Glad to help out. 😎
Thank You! step 3 worked.

Not all machines have the lever

My machine stopped in the middle of a cycle during a power cut. I'll be damned if I can get it open. The emergency handle doesn't work
Hope you got it open
Yes thank you. I finally found a piece of string and that worked first time. Life saver. Many thanks
None of those worked and also I don't have this lever 😭 my clothes are stuck inside please help. The service guy will come in 3 days 😭
If none of these steps worked then I’m afraid I’ve no idea. Sounds like a faulty door latch but I’ve never heard one that couldn’t be forced open.

Sorry didn't work
thank you!
