How to repair a broken door handle on a washing machine

  • Specifically the Samsung WD8704EJA model but I am sure there are many cross overs with other brands and models. I also had to manually release the door with washing inside but did not make a video of that. I can answer questions if required.
    The website I got the handle from is spares.bigware...

    Just want to say a huge thank you.
    I was minutes away from ordering a new washing machine because of the same problem, until I discovered your video.
    I have just replaced the damaged handle at a cost of £6.
    God bless UA-camrs like yourself

    As a suggestion too ... put a basket of dirty washing underneath the glass before unscrewing the metallic looking cover. It caught mine as it fell out.

    Thank you so much! I needed exactly this to understand how to get my washing machine open when the handle snapped after it finished a cycle! If anyone else needs that bit of information, slip a string around the door, and pull it to the left to unhook the latch

    The Samsung WF8704RSW is exactly the same but the white plastic door rim comes off very easily. Many thanks - You've done everyone a big favour. In replacing the prongs of the spring, I found it easiest to put the upper one in first. (Coincidentally, the video was even more authentic as your floor tiles are identical to mine.)

    My Samsung washer handle just broke. I manage to pry out the plastic handle and released the latch. I'll need to order a replacement handle. Looking at it closely, it so stupid of the designer that the mechanism that holds on to the metal hook is ....plastic. Of course it'll snap over time.

    Yesterday I replaced the broken handle of my Samsung washing machine. Samsung distributor in my country sells spare parts with a very expensive price where the new handle cost 16 USD.

  • @grahambass1707
    @grahambass1707 6 років тому +1

    Excellent, thanks. Same mechanism for model WF8800RPF (which Samsung deny any knowledge of) and part DC64-01524A.

    • @olafolaffsonn
      @olafolaffsonn  Рік тому

      from memory, if you take the screws out from the external walls, you can slide your hand through the edge and unlock the latch from the inside.

  • @debrachung3190
    @debrachung3190 2 роки тому

    Thanks for sharing and really detailed Video. I have replaced door handle successfully as shown. The handle was broken as yours. However, a new problem appeared after replacement. The door now cannot be closed. When closing door I cannot hear the “click” sound and door is not closed properly and machine don’t start. Anyone have the same problem before and have a solution? I’m guessing the door lock is too old and new door handle is too spring-ie so the lock cannot click into place?

    I replaced one of these last week. I ordered the latch from Amazon for £5.00. My problem was getting the door to open as the door was closed when it broke. I took off every panel to try and unlock the door. I managed to manually unlatch it in the end but it was an ordeal. Changing this part took about ten minutes, I took the whole door off so I could do it on a flat surface.

    • @olafolaffsonn
      @olafolaffsonn  5 років тому

      Mine was already shut when it broke. I ended up unscrewing and pulling the top of the machine off and then the side panel. You can reach in and unlatch it from there. It was quite a while ago now but I remember taking the top off and loosening the front panel to get my arm in. Hope that helps

      @brigidgarroni9300 3 роки тому

      I managed after a while. Did everything as you said, but then it was really hard to slot the long ends of the spring mechanism back into place. Struggled with that bit for over an hour and eventually my husband did it. The rest was easy. Thank you for the tutorial, I would not have done it without your instructions.
