The door locking device has failed

Was the washing machine broken? Do not open the door after washing with a proper lock mechanism? You need to look for a fault in the lock. If this device breaks down, the program fails, and the device does not give a signal, respectively, the hatch remains closed. Specialists recommend in this situation to change the firmware of the intelligent module. Do it yourself without having special equipment, it will not work, so it's better to call a qualified master.

The washing machine (does not open the door due to a failure in the electronics) performs all the processes automatically, that is, when you turn on the lock is blocked, after the wash is heard a characteristic click that notifies that you can open the hatch. If this does not happen, then it is necessary to check the automation. However, the owner must make sure that the problem is in it. To do this, it is recommended to turn the unit on once again in the "Rinse" and "Spin" modes. If this did not change the situation, then repair is indispensable.

Do not drain the water - how to open the hatch door?

The drain hose is an important part of such an apparatus as an automatic washing machine. Do not open the door after washing, then inside the device there is water. The reason for this can be a clogged sink. The same problems occur if the hose is broken. Modern instruments are equipped with intelligent control, so if the operation fails, all programs are blocked. It is the residues of water after washing that can lead to a disruption in the sequence of planned processes.

First of all, owners are advised to check the drain hose for creases. If the reason is not this, then you need to clean it. Similar actions can be carried out with the central pipe, since there can also be clogging, which complicates the drainage of water from the machine.

After finding the problem location and troubleshooting, you need to turn on the washing machine in the "Spin" mode. When the work is completed, the lock will turn off and the door will open easily.

"Protection from children" - a program for blocking

Most modern devices are equipped with a special program, the activation of which does not open the door of the washing machine. It is designed to ensure that people with mental illness and children can not use the device, because they are unknowingly able to harm themselves and others. To activate the lock option, the developers have a special combination of button presses (which ones are specified in the instruction). If the program is on, the control keys will not function normally. Also, under any manipulation, the door of the hatch will not open. To remove a lock, simply disable the protection program.

Locking mechanism failure

If the door of the washing machine does not open, and also does not close, then, most likely, there was a breakdown of the lock mechanism. Such problems can lead to wear of the unit or intensive loads on the handle. The fault does not affect the disabling of the locking mode, so to solve it you will need to remove the door. After that, disassemble it and check the lock and the lock. The mechanism itself is quite simple, so repairs do not take much time. After eliminating the breakdown, the door must be assembled, replaced and checked.

As a rule, after the washing process is completed, the lock is turned off for 5 minutes. But when the automation is violated, deactivation of the regime is impossible. In this case, it is recommended to de-energize the instrument for approximately 30-40 minutes. During this time, the program will reset all settings, and the door will open. This will not happen if there is water left inside the machine. It can be drained using an emergency hose. Access to it is possible only through the hole located at the bottom of the case.
