Well done, very crisp. Beware of pulling out the emergency door release, which is a bugger to get back in place if you do. The tab end (red, not black, in my machine) sticks out inside of little door on the bottom right of the machine. To be easily able to fish it through if need be, tape a string or thin wire on the bottom end, where there's nothing to tie it to, and tie it on top so it's easy to untie when putting it back. Also, the door seal spring has *a real lot* of tension. If unable to slip the hoop and spring back on the door, I found it much less difficult to bend back one of the wires connecting the hoop to the spring with suitable pliers, put the hoop and spring in place, slip the end of the spring over the bent wire, and bend the wire back in with the hoop in place.

Hi Chris, thank you for your post and glad our video helped.

[@jonpaxman]

Thanks! Just saved me $300, as once I got the seal off I discovered that the lock wasn't even broken, it has just detached from the frame of the washer. Clipped it back in place and it's all fixed.

[@eSpares]

Thanks Jonathan. Glad to know you sorted out the issue and saved money as well. Remember to like and subscribe for more helpful videos in the future.

It's the same for me. Thanks!

Hi Costel, thank you for your post and have a lovely day.

[@yokden]

Further to my comment below, it appears the lock solenoid winding is open circuit. Thanks Mat.

[@yokden]

Excellent tutorial.

[@eSpares]

Hi, thanks for your comment, hopefully our video has helped you to replace the door lock on your washing machine yourself, and it is now locking correctly once again!

[@jochippyy]

U seem to have lots of playon your wires that mine dont have and im pulling myhair out trying to plug them in

[@swormser865]

how do you get seal off if no wire spring around it looks sealed on mine, door on other side too thx

[@mperich003]

Thank you! Very helpfull

[@eSpares]

Hi Marc, glad we could help.

[@psisky]

If a washing machine door stops opening can this affect whether the washer drains and spins or is it usually the other way around? Mine wouldn't open today and when we eventually got it open (using the strimmer line method) the clothes were sodden inside. We checked the drains, the filter and the carbon brushes and all seem fine. Now at a loss knowing what to do next. Hi Nibs thinks the door problem might be affecting the drain and spin because the door 'padlock' light was blinking now and then on the console.

[@eSpares]

Hi psisky, if the door is jammed then it is likley the door lock needs replacing, if the program was interupted it may be affecting the programs.

[@psisky]

Thanks eSpares, the door handle snapped after I wrote my comment so we've ordered a new one today. Also, I think everything else if fine. My daughter put one sweatshirt in our 8k machine and I read on 4 sites that that sometimes a too small load causes the machine not to spin or drain properly. Fingers crossed when the new bit is fixed it'll all work perfect, (and she's banned from the machine altogether now). Cheers.

[@eSpares]

Glad you have sorted it psisky, and my fingers are crossed for you :)

[@eSpares]

If this does not work check the motor brushes (if fitted) are not worn out and you have not accidentally turned the 'child lock' on as this prevents any buttons operating.

[@ladybsymcox]

Is this basically the same thing for a bosch tumble dryer door interlock mechanism?

[@eSpares]

Hi Benedicte, you will need to gain access to the inside of the dryer to get to the door lock as it is not the same as a washing machine.

[@ladybsymcox]

@@eSpares any video anywhere?

[@eSpares]

Hi Benedicte, we don't have a video but take the top and left-hand side panel looking from the front, you should be able to get access from that side.

[@ladybsymcox]

eSpares Well, I did it... but it really could do with a video. It wasn't difficult, but taking the thing apart was a nightmare and I did bend the side panel. Had to take off the top, the front panel (which has all the buttons), then the side... SO many screws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eSpares]

Hi Benedicte. We do not have a video I'm afraid. We admire your persistence and are glad you got your appliance fixed in the end.

[@jakkeman1990]

Is this door lock possible to fix or is it only way replace it with new one? My Bosch washing machine's door lock is broken. Door can't close, because a latch of lock is jammed. Local washing machine repair company can't get replace part in this year. So I must wait long long time. If this lock is possible to fix by myself, it is more more quicker way than waiting for repair person with a new part.

[@jakkeman1990]

My washing machine have a warranty. It's not ended yet. But this replacement seems to be easy to do by myself and replacement part isn't so expensive. Maybe 30€ plus delivery costs.

[@eSpares]

Hi, if it is the fault of the lock, then it will need to be replaced...as you can't "fix" a faulty door lock. You can see our range of Bosch washing machine door locks here on the eSpares website www.espares.co.uk/search/ma856pt1556/washing-machines/door-parts/bosch ...just be sure to purchase the correct door lock for your particular washing machine model number.

[@dexterfitben]

great video. i need a latch EXACTLY like that....do you have a part number?

[@ewrewrawdas6305]

Hi, thanks for your comment, hopefully it helps you to replace the door lock on your washing machine yourself!

Hi Ryad, if you can't get the door open there are a few techniques in this video to help kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGjZq4p9gtuZha8&t

[@jayytee8062]

Where does the other end of the strap on the emergency door release connect to.... ?? my one has come off!

[@eSpares]

The strap fits from the door lock and down to the to the filter, if you drop the filter cover off you should see it.

[@jayytee8062]

@@eSpares Cheers Bro!

[@eSpares]

No problem Jayy, have a good day.

[@Ho-ran]

My emergency door release came off completely and I’m not sure where the other end goes… can anyone help?

[@jochippyy]

I think it comes out at the bottom if you undo the round thing at floor level

[@Ho-ran]

@@jochippyy yup I think you’re right thanks
