Washing Machine Door Stuck won't open, How to Release and Open the Door Easily.

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!

You saved both my washing mashine, and my nerves. Great video, thumbs up!

The second method - on a Bosch - worked like a charm, even with string. Much appreciated!

I used a wire coat hanger and it worked really well. Thanks, you're a life saver!

[davidhousedavid]

you saved my day. I managed to open the door with the metal cable trick today.

Thank you! I did this with a Leicester of sewing string and it worked! Quick and easy! Thank you much for your helpful video!

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.

It's the 21st century. This should not be a problem.

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 .

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

Excellent - did use string and this did work. Saved me £50 call out charge. So easy, feel like a washing machine engineer.

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

Just tried this after 24 hours of not being able to open the washing machine door. Worked perfectly

This video saved the day. Ad used strimmer cord andcalthough didnt work at first it finally came open. Brilliant thankyou.

[TiagoBentoRealEstatePortugal]

What a legend! Thank-you managed to get the door open... didn't have a string but used a thin dog lead/leash 🎉

[Goliath]

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.

Genius, it worked.  Able to get my washing out a day and many million efforts later.  Thank you
