Let me add one more way. (It's similar to #1 in the video, but it didn't work for my machine.) If your washing machine has a "door lock" indicator/light and it's on, turn the knob or switch to the position that turns the light off. Then turn off/ unplug your washing machine and wait for a few minutes. Turn on the machine again. This is how the repair guy fixed it. This lesson cost me USD25. Hope it helps you.
There are different types of washing machine lock. Mine doesn't have a moving door handle so the string and card methods won't work. The turn off the electricity and back on method didn't work either. However, there was a variation to your method 5. There was a manual override on the door latch mechanism. It looked like a trigger inside an arched cover on the lock. Press this & the lock will release. I believe that other machines has switches under the front cover that do the same. It's hard to find references to these.
Thank you the second method open the door .....without your video I would never know this u add to my knowledge ....am liking and subscribing to help your channel also ...thank you once again
Thank you for the video.... But what if you have no power because the electrical outlet and the electrical cord and the washer shorted out due to pipes bursting
Ive tried every method multiple times, still locked! I have the exact machine in this video. Is there anything more specific to do once inside other than wiggling? When this issue occurred the door handle made a snapping noise and is clearly semi broken but still in one piece, although its a wonder i haven't snapped it in frustration! All suggestions very welcomed
thank po lord, dahil sa channel na ito nasolusyunan po problema ko, hayy thank you very much po, natakot na ako kung anong gagawin ko kc baka pagalitan ako ng amo ko...basta thank you po sir sa channel mo God bless you po 🥰
Tried all your ways and none is working on my whirpool. Then I connected the washing machine, press [start] to wash machine. But before the water gets in, I pressed the [Stop/Cancel] button. The latch is off and I can now open the door.
Excellent video, much better explained than other videos. I used the string method, and one thing the other videos didnt explain was how much force is required. I was pulling so hard I snapped the whipper snippet cord twice. I got lucky on the third go. Thanks so much saved me a call out fee
Thank you so much!! After two hours I've finally managed to open my washing machine!! :) I used the pulling the string method that other people were also doing in other vids but they didn't explain as well, so glad I watched this
Tried the less invasive techniques first and then hubby broke the handle off and we ordered a new one from espares. Needed a new handle anyway, so - sorted. Job done! Lol 😁 was worth a try though.
thank you, very helpful - I watched your entire video and #1 worked. Thanks again for taking the time to help others! I also subscribed because I like your instructional style.
Further to my previous comment, my neighbour (a man) repeated every method with no luck, so removed the broken front piece of the door handle, pulled out the tiny white bit of plastic that had snapped, and opened the door using a flat screwdriver which is going to be my method from now on. I cant see the point in paying to replace the handle on an 8 yr old machine. I hope this is helpful for anyone with the same issue and same model as my machine and the one used in this video - Time Manager by Electrolux
I'd recommend the wire or "string" as I used... it was really easy! I wouldn't however recommend buying Hoover/Candy... poor customer service and delivery was very late!
Thankyou very much. Tried the string and the card option but end up going with number 5 open the top and something long enough with some grip will do the trick :) thanks again...
In a 24 hour laundromat about midnight. Somehow the washer door was stuck closed after the wash cycle was complete. No attendant was around, being late at night to help. Far from home and did not want to leave my things in the machine with a note till employees would arrive in the morning. Tried hitting the door, etc. Nothing worked. Different type of latch so the string or plastic card trick would not do it. Then watching this video saw trick #3 - to disconnect the power so the machine resets. I saw where my machine was plugged in but could not get back there without probably breaking loose a makeshift plywood barrier that blocked off the area. So no choice but to open the door of the empty machine next to mine and use it as a foothold to climb up onto the machines. I don't recommend this for everyone. Had to lay on my side on top of the washing machines and was very careful to only touch the round body of the plug itself and not any wires or prongs (of course) and unplug the machine. Left the whole plug cable draped over a pipe in case I needed to plug it back in later. At first no luck. Then less than 10 minutes later heard a loud clunk and that was the machine re-setting. Turned the handle and the door opened like nothing had ever been stuck! So thanks for this video, really. Did not intend to sit in my car for 6 hours till morning and I was half ready to take a hammer and screwdriver to the thing but that would not have been a good idea!
Oh Yeah. Saved by UA-cam. I was stuck with no way to go forward. Until you said "move the concrete back". Then I realised that with the bowl pulled back I could get my hand and a light into the tight space behind the latch. I pulled the bowl back and roped it in place. Then a screwdriver tip on the hook itself pushed the hook and opened the door. The plastic hook support in the door was broken and the handle could not move the hook. Thank you for your help. The service people said it would be 5 days before they could get a mechanic to me. 5 days!!! Their business is 5 minutes away down the road. Outrageous. Thank you again.
After 2 days of stress and struggled watching machine door now it's open thlough one of your methods. Once again thank you.

You saved my life with the nylon thread hack ! God bless you !
You genius! Plastic card worked a trick! And the whipper snippet cable is clever.
I can not believe this worked!! thank you so much!! I used a long shoelace instead.

Tried the less invasive techniques first and then hubby broke the handle off and we ordered a new one from espares. Needed a new handle anyway, so - sorted. Job done! Lol 😁 was worth a try though.

Thanks for saving me from a hefty call out fee for a repairman! I popped open the cover and jiggled the lock and presto, the door unlocked itself!
Thank you so much! Saved us a whole duvet set!!
I'd recommend the wire or "string" as I used... it was really easy!
I wouldn't however recommend buying Hoover/Candy... poor customer service and delivery was very late!
Thanks, worked out in hard string method + hand hit
I can’t thank you enough. Really thank so much. The 2nd method did the job!
Thank you very much for the tips. I managed to open the door with the last trick, not without sweat and tears

The string method combined with banging the door did the trick for me 😅
1st method works good👍👍
#4 it's work thank you for the tips🙏🙏🙏🙏
What if a piece of cloth was caught in the door?
Oh Yeah. Saved by UA-cam. I was stuck with no way to go forward. Until you said "move the concrete back". Then I realised that with the bowl pulled back I could get my hand and a light into the tight space behind the latch. I pulled the bowl back and roped it in place. Then a screwdriver tip on the hook itself pushed the hook and opened the door. The plastic hook support in the door was broken and the handle could not move the hook.
Thank you for your help. The service people said it would be 5 days before they could get a mechanic to me. 5 days!!! Their business is 5 minutes away down the road. Outrageous.
Thank you again.
No 5 for me took 2 minutes! Big thanks!
1st method worked well
