Electrolux Washer Door Locked Won T Open

How do i drain the washer.

Electrolux washer door locked won t open.

I washed a load of clothes yesterday and the machine s door won t open. Waited a few hours and the door is still locked. It is 5 years old. The door lock secures the washer door shut during operation.

Strike the handle gently with an open palm to loosen it. If it does not try reaching up through the bottom pannel on the door lock side and see if you do not feel an oval shaped tab hanging down. Once the washer door is closed the washer can begin operating. On some models if there is a problem with opening the door and the display is off turn on the washing machine and make sure the door lock icon is not active.

Inside you should find a tech sheet that should tell you how to open the door. Door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. On some manual locks this will be enough to shake it into the unlock position. How long has this been going on.

Make sure the door lock icon is not active. If the door lock is defective the washer door will not latch properly. If your door still isn t unlocked try loosening the lock with the power off. It takes less than 15 minutes to fix on average.

Have you tried resetting your electrolux washer by unplugging it for 60 seconds then plugging it back in. First i suggest that you take off the bottom panel assuming there is a bottom panel. Already tried unplugging it and starting a new cycle. How old is it.

Washer was not completing cycle and unlocking door which left clothes stuck so after disconnecting and reconnecting machine it reset computer and now works f. The door can be opened about 5 minutes after the end of the washing cycle after the bimetal in the door lock has cooled down. I do no think the washer has drained. Use an open palm to gently strike the handle right above the location of the lock.
