What to do if the door does not open in the washing machine after washing
When the washing machine does not open immediately after the final stage of washing (a couple of minutes) is normal. The default lock is carried out to prevent water leakage from the machine and without it, the work process will not begin.
If such a problem arises that the car does not open (both after washing and before it), then there may be several reasons for this. Let’s talk about why sometimes the washing machine does not open: consider the causes and ways to eliminate the door blocking.
If “cut down” the light
Another thing is if the machine stopped did not occur at the initiative of the user. Often, in the process of washing, the general light is “cut down”, and the machine stops the start of the cycle. In theory, the unit remembers the location and when the power supply continues the program from the reference point.
But in reality, not all washingrs can boast of an ideal memory, but are capable of recreating the regime only for a certain time, from 2 to 30 minutes. Often from turning off electricity, the program is knocked down. The user can only start again. Close the hatch and choose the mode.
We unlock quickly
If the lock breaks down, remove the lock, so that later open the lid of the lamp of the washing machine using a special cable does not always work. However, there is a reliable and proven way. Initially, the device should be de.Energized and moved into a spacious room for a detailed inspection.
The top cover must be removed, pass the hand deep into the case and find the flag for emergency opening the door to the touch. Click on it and try to open the door at the same time. The attempt should be crowned with success. If the reason for the lock is associated with a breakdown of a handle or lock, you can not do without the help of a specialist.
Experiment: spinning the laundry with the door open in the LG washing machine
There is another way. To remove the top cover, use the screwdriver to unscrew the nuts on the rear panel of the washing machine, and then slightly pull the lid up. Special efforts are not required so as not to damage the panel. Now you need to tilt the device so that the drum shifts away from the wall. At this moment, get and move the fasteners to the side. The lock should be removed.
In addition to the above, there is another interesting way to open a blocked door. You will need a little dexterity, a strong thread and a thin flat screwdriver, you can take a metal file for manicure. So, take the thread and stick it into the hole between the body and the door with a screwdriver, as if putting on the door.
Note! The thread should be thin otherwise, it simply will not crawl into the gap under the door.
Putting the thread on the door from the lock side, it is necessary to carefully pull the ends of the thread with a slight effort. Under pressure, the lock will click and open.
If you never manage to open a washing machine yourself, you should contact the service center so as not to aggravate the situation. A qualified specialist will reveal the cause and quickly eliminate problems. Otherwise, the cost of repairs will significantly increase.
