Most often blocking the doors of the washing machine occurs due to the features of the installation. In addition, this often happens if electricity has disappeared in the house (suddenly). Less often - due to the occurrence of any breakdown. In any of the listed situations, it may be necessary to open the hatch of the machine to solving the "global" problem or the arrival of the master. This can be done in one of the following ways.
Until the washing machine is in washing mode, its door will be blocked. This option is provided by manufacturers of washing machinery intentionally and is necessary in order to avoid differently affordable accidents with a large amount of water on the floor and the subsequent failure of the entire drum of the washing machine. The hatch is unlocked automatically when the selected washing program is completed. Of course, there are situations where the washing ended, and the hatch for one or another reasons remained blocked.
It is important to understand that when the machine completes the washing program, it does not complete her work. First, the device goes into diagnostic mode, which takes 3-5 minutes. Only after it is completed, the "AUTOMA" applies the corresponding beep, and with it the command to open the door. It does not open the door automatically due to the power off, which rushes out of the water drum, the breakdown of the lock device, and the handle breakdowns. Best of all, in such a situation, the masters call, but something can be done something.
1. Open de-energization
Sometimes the machine gives a failure and open the door with its banal de-energization. Turn off the unit from electricity, then turn on again. It is recommended to wait 1-2 minutes between the removal and reverse insertion of the plug into the socket. If it did not help right away, you can also try to enable some "fast" mode, for example, a spin. Most likely, on its completion, the door turns open.
2. Open the cord
This method should be used only in those situations when it is just known that the door does not open due to a broken handle. To save linen, you will need a cord or rope, diameter that will exceed the diameter of the loading hatch.
The rope is laid in the gap between the side of the machine and the lid. If you need, you need to use a screwdriver in order to push the rope into the slot deeper. Make it should be throughout the diameter. After it is necessary to firmly, but carefully pull yourself on the ends. The door must open.
3. Emergency discovery
Most modern washing machines have a special cable for the emergency opening of the hatch (yes, the creators have provided such an opportunity). As a rule, it is somewhere in the area of the bottom panel and painted in a bright color. All you need to do is get to the cable and pull for it.
IMPORTANT: If water remained in the drum, it is necessary to put some container in advance for the hatch!
