I have broken the door handle on my washing machine the model stated above.
Hotpoint aquarius door handle broken.
Do i have to buy a complete new door or can you just buy the plastic part.
With the door open you will then be in a better position to see if the latch or the lock is faulty.
Watch the video and a few more on you tube then changed our handle works perfectly.
Once you have the door open you will be able to tell if this is the case as when you move the handle the latch will not move.
Ordered and delivered the next day fit our washing machine door perfectly.
The thermal lock is preventing the door from opening the thermal lock should release the washing machine door about two minutes after the cycle ends.
The picture below is not the exact model but the panel is more or less the same.
You should be able to relase the door latch by either removing the top reaching down to the latch or with strong thread stretched from top to bottom of the door or slim blade slid in from the rhs to pull or push the latch lever to the left.
If you can t open it the next stage is to work the lock back and forth side to side to work it off of the screws.
