Beko WM 74155 LW Washing Machine Door Handle Fix

[@EdNolan]

Top drawer advice there my man. Wife isn't talking to me, the kids have run away and the dog is hiding in the shed, but, I fixed it. The air was blue I tell you. You're a legend! Cheers mate, Ed.

[@juliemadden7391]

Brilliant instructions for fixing the door handle, used 2 other videos, neither showed how to get the back plate for the hinge out, so ours dropped into the depths of the machine, luckily we were able to tip the machine and retrieve it, nor did they mention about the spring position. Well done, you're a life saver!

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video

[@jonlorton9604]

Many thanks for the video, it's just enabled me to fix our machine having done the classic "take it apart without taking pictures and immediatly forget how it went together".

[@retrorestore]

You're welcome!

[@philcostley6936]

Literally me today! 😆😅

[@GT6600]

Absolute legend mate. You're the only video on KZbin that showed the bit about the spring having to clip in properly with the ring. Was stumped for ages wondering why it wouldn't lock when I had it all back together. Big thanks!

[@retrorestore]

No problem 👍

[@gordonmtchell802]

Exactly the same thing happened to me. stumped for hours until I looked at your video were you showed the spring having to clip in properly. Thanks

[@Anna-zo2tv]

I think this has just solved my problem too…

[@wendytutty6345]

Hi Martin...just a quick hello to say how grateful I am for your great video and explanation on how to replace door handle on the beco washing machine....got myself in a right twist trying to get it back together but once I watched your vid and how well you explanation it was a Dodleston...well done to you and again many many thanks...can take the wife out for dinner on the money I've saved.....PS..GIVE BABY A HUG FROM ME...many thanks bulldog Bill...polgate sussex....

Got a code 8 on my beko wm series . Found out with the help of youtube repaired my self ,whipped the motor out and replaced the brushes. Great vid will be saved!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃☕☕☕☕☕

[@neilpearce455]

Struggled a bit with where the spring sat but followed you guide and saved buying a new machine . Thanks

[@retrorestore]

Nice one Neil.

[@soulbarn]

This is great, saved me a repair vi$it. I found that it helped to angle the door plate to push the spring toward the edge while reassembling. This makes sure that the spring is tensioned on when everything goes together.

[@johnreed8336]

Hi Martin . Thank you for your in depth video relating to putting a new catch on a Beko washing machine. It's the best one on KZbin as I have watch a few others and they definitely leave important bits out . Has saved a bit of money for me which I am very grateful for .

[@christianstone2429]

Many thanks for posting this video, a really good tutorial that helped me fix my washing machine! I managed to replace the handle without removing the hinge from the machine which saved a bit of time / hassle 👍

[@retrorestore]

Glad it helped

[@kenknott2293]

Excellent video. Helped me successfully replace the door handle after I got stuck trying to sort it out myself! Quite a tricky repair, so thank you very much. For the record, our model is WM 7043 CW

[@retrorestore]

Glad it helped!

[@kellymckee6149]

Thank you so much for this video and actually talking about the spring. It's worked and I now have a functioning door handle again!

[@retrorestore]

You're welcome!

[@stuartcooper3261]

Thank you very much Chief, me and the missis not long had a baby so this video was a life saver!

[@retrorestore]

No problem 👍

[@garymucher9590]

Always nice to see you repair most anything. The real take away from you or anybody else repairing things is, even if you don't know how something is assembled, taking pictures, or in your case video, as you disassembling anything enables you to reassembly it back again without any issues. And as you disassemble anything, a little general understanding of things really helps to figure out how it works. If you don't have that general ability to understand such things, let someone else do it! Thumbs Up Martin!

[@valborchardt3596]

Very interesting video Martin and Sharon. My hubby loves watching you as he learns something new each time. Thank you

[@BridgetteWhiles]

I’ve just replaced mine with the use of your video. Stalled at getting tension on the spring. After checking several times the correct fitting of spring and handle, which I had done correctly. It was the positioning of the two prongs on the spring. It would have been helpful to have shown before putting on the facing panel where these should have been positioned and that sliding the panel across rather than putting it on the top and pushing down would actually made things easier. Took me an age to work it out but do have to say the rest of the video was very helpful. You may want to add a clip pointing out the location of the spring prongs which would make it clearer.😊

[@cabdriveruk]

Great video Martin. People should definitely give it a go and try to fix some of the problems themselves, most of the fixes are just common sense really. Cheers, Jeff.

[@dinocitozi9216]

agree but a little guide gives you more clues as what to watch out for.

[@Blum.L.90]

Thanks mate this helped me do mine couldn’t work that spring out for ages! Another video I watched didn’t show him do it. Thanks again!

[@Jim-ie6uf]

It’s gut wrenching how much it costs for a service call,then the part markup. My Whirlpool washer lid switch failed 2 years ago. The machine wouldn’t spin out. Pattern part on Amazon for $7.00., dealer $48.00, after a couple of KZbin videos, and Vickie’s help, after 30 minutes, all good. Just gotta diy! Merry Christmas.

[@Turkishkalle-mf3ty]

I can't lie. Your a life saver bro

[@Toby-fp1nf]

Martin, you have absolutely no idea how many people worldwide will be like "thank goodness I've seen this thing on KZbin by that Retro Dude" when their door handle breaks, just like mine did, having no idea how to fix it and being appalled at what the service dude was gonna charge! 👍👍👍

[@Tomthom]

Your video was very informative and easy to follow. Good job.

[@chriseverett1142]

Baby deserves a new machine that one seen better days.

[@18rubyanne]

Thank you! Replaced our door handle with the help of your video

[@retrorestore]

Glad it helped!

[@kevinwoodruff7377]

Martin you are a jack of all trades you can come and mend my washing machine but live to far away in Essex .well done mate. love the videos.👍

[@dwezzh2399]

You don't even need to take the seal off. Just be careful not to hit it after the door is off,as it's hooked on. Great vid,no annoying music.

[@SIRRIS6776]

Thank you buddy. Your video is very good. I changed today Door Handle

[@retrorestore]

Great 👍

[@paulmckinder3082]

Thanks for the vid my machine has done the same you have saved me a few quid there only thing I need is a glamorous assistant

[@stevegeorge291]

Excellent video much better than the others particularly as it shows you the problem with getting the spring right cheers mate

[@Parknest]

Martin, knowing what you know now, you would've got away with not disturbing the door seal if you'd been very careful but it was a wise precaution and not a problem. Who'd have though that even washing machines have Torx screws these days? I've just checked our Beko WMB 714422 B and that has Torx screws too. Nice to know that genuine replacement parts aren't always expensive. We used to have a White Knight 77AW tumble dryer that I'd repaired a few times. We now have a Beko DCU 7230 B that compliments our washing machine quite nicely.

[@retrorestore]

Yes Dave but if a ham fisted person removed the door, they might have still disturbed the bracket so removing is showed how the lugs sit for the rear bracket. Not only that, it also showed how the seal as held in place.

[@stephenr6427]

Great video saving people money and anybody should be able to do it cheers Martin hope you and the family have a great Christmas

[@retrorestore]

You too bud

[@barryroach1980]

I just thank God that your big retro Y Fronts had been removed from the drum before you took the job on Mart!!!

[@FuzzyDPozzy]

we have this exact model, may I ask after the washing is done the light is on "End" but the door is not opening. I have checked the filter drained the water but the door still is not opening , do you know why? and how can i fix it?

[@retrorestore]

Sorry, I wouldn't know without seeing it.

[@FuzzyDPozzy]

@@retrorestore thanks for the response

[@roystheboy]

nice easy fix martin well done now Sharon can get he washing done

[@LauraAndersonaforteforfashion]

How do you get it open if it snap off when it was closed?

[@retrorestore]

Now there's a good question.

[@chy4919]

If anyone else is wondering, use a flat head screw driver and push it into the snapped part(towards yourself) to lever the switch the way the handle would, just came across this problem and found this method much easier than the string method or opening the top.

[@barbarawiddowson635]

Thank you for this video Martin very clear and concise and saving folks lots of money. Looks like Barney's thinking I helped too (so sweet)!

[@Nick41622]

Hi Martin, it's funny that you have the washing machine in the kitchen in Australia we have a separate laundry room.

[@dinocitozi9216]

In UK we have them fitted in Kitchen, we are limited with house space here. In Albania (I am Albanian) we have them fitted in Bathrooms

[@Nick41622]

​@@dinocitozi9216 That is properly a good idea.

[@leemclaughlin3927]

Good job saved a few quid-not necessary to bother yourself taking the seal clamp off thats why the backing plate has the lugs so it stays in place when screws have been removed -the model numbers and letters stand for certain stuff ie WM=Washing Machine then 7 is the kg capacity, 15 is for 1500 spin and the LW the W for the colour the 4 ,5 and L I'm not sure but could be to do with the amount of main wash progs and special progs -bit of useless info for ya -great vids keep em coming

[@retrorestore]

Yes, Lee, thanks for the info.

[@petermcilvenny436]

Good video but popping the metal ring on at the end was not clear. Use some clamps to clamp ring in place and feed round leaving the spring part last and ease over

[@derbyjohn1258]

[@Toby-fp1nf]

BTW, Martin, I just left my plastic coffee pot too near a hot stove and a part of the bottom just started to melt and got disfigured all over. The container inside is still watertight and ok. The thing cost 59 Euros and I don't wanna dump it just like that (I'm from Swabia, Germany, and we're legendarily parsimonious...😎). Could you maybe do a video on how to repair melted plastic parts if the rest of the item is still functional? That would be great!

[@retrorestore]

I wouldn't know where to start with that one i'm afraid lol.

Great one martin theses are skills most don’t have but should basic diy Otherwise some folk may have got a new machine because of age as cheapness of some new machine For the sake of just over £6 it the.

Thanks Chris.

[@Pancloth]

Thank you so much, this was perfect for me to follow and fix my machine handle! Really clear instructions and explanations, much appreciated! :)

[@Pancloth]

Getting that sprung wire back on was tricksy though! I got my glamorous assistant to pin the wire in place with the edge of a screwdriver, while I worked the spring and rest of the wire back on with two other screwdrivers, where the extra section of rubber sits to the bottom left. All in working order and looks like it's all right! Thanks again for a great tutorial ,👍🌟🌟🌟
