All modern machine gun washing machines are equipped with an automatic locking system of the hatch, which locks the lock on the door immediately after launching the washing and unlocks it a few minutes after the program is completed. But sometimes it happens that after the expiration of the "minutes of security", the door does not open, no matter how much you have been damaged by the handle. Most often, the handle remains blocked or due to problems with electronics, or as a result of mechanical breakdown.
In this article we will tell you about why the handle of the washing machine can break, and what needs to be done if it happened.
Possible reasons
As we said, there are two most common reasons for blocking the doors of the washing machine:
- a failure in the electronic module;
- Malfunction associated with damage or wear knob-lock.
If I have a fault in the control module, you can simply correct the situation. In most cases, the problem is solved simply rebooting the instrument (by disconnecting from the network, then inclusion). If it did not help, try again to start the wash (select the shortest program). It will not help - it means that something else.
About what to do if the washing machine does not open due to mechanical damage to the handle, read below.
Options solving the problem
- Emergency unlocking hatch. In most models of modern stylish, a cable for emergency opening of the castle is provided. It is located behind the same little door on the front of the device, as the drain filter. You can find out this cable in bright, red or orange colors.
- Independent unlocking hatch. If the previous method does not help or the washing machine is not equipped with an emergency cable, you can try to remove the lock manually. This can be done, praying with the lock from the inside of the device (removing the top panel and rejecting the drum to the side).
- Use of primary means. In some cases, the jamble door is easy to open with the rope. To do this, you need to take a thin, but durable lace and introduce it into the gap between the casing of the washer and the hatch. Then pulp for both ends on yourself - and the lock will open.
