The reason behind the washing machine door lock
While using a washing machine, we face problems like the door is locked and won't open and can be frustrating for some people.
- The cause for this can be a faulty or blocked pressure system because the air may be trapped in it and prevent the door from opening.
- Sometimes, the washing machine pressure switch won't reset, and it will maintain the pressure inside the machine and won't allow the door to open.
- Another reason for it may be the interlocks that are jammed. The cause for it is usually water left in the machine.
- The door handle or catch mechanism can be broken, which is causing hindrance in the washing machine door from opening.
Methods to unlock the washing machine door
People are impatient and want things to do quickly. People get frustrated when the washing machine door is not opening. These are some solutions you can try to open a locked washing machine door:
- If something is blocking the drainage, the door will not open. In such a case, something is preventing the water from draining. Then run a drain cycle and, when the water is drained out completely, the door will eventually unlock.
- If your machine's door handle is loose or broken, you can use a wire and pull it sideways. You have to do it firmly but gently, and you can release the door catch and will be able to open the washing machine door lock.
- In some machines, the thermal lock will not allow the door to open even after it has stopped rotating. The reason behind this is the expansion of the thermal lock, which will only open when the washing machine is plugged out, and you wait for 5 minutes. It will allow the washing machine door lock to cool down. Then you can open the door.
