This generic door handle is made to suit LG front loaders that use part number 3650EN3005A. The fit list covers a wide range of older LG models, including the WD-8013F and WD-10150FB, the WD-11020D and WD-12020D, and the WD-1274FHB and WD-14120RD. It's also cross referenced to 3650ER3002B. A snapped handle can leave you unable to open the door at all, so it's a repair worth doing promptly.

LG washing machine door won't open? Check the handle

On these LG front loaders, pulling the handle moves a catch that releases the door once the cycle has finished. The plastic handle and its pivot take a lot of force, and over time the handle can snap, the pivot pin can wear, or the link to the catch can break. Typical signs are a handle that moves freely without opening the door, a handle hanging loose, or one that has broken off completely. If the door still won't open with a new handle, the door lock may be holding it.

Fitting a new LG door handle

Unplug the machine before you start. If the door is stuck shut, the catch can sometimes be released through the gap with a piece of string, otherwise call a technician. With the door open, remove the screws around the inner door ring to split the door halves. Note how the handle, spring and hook sit, transfer any parts the new handle doesn't include, then reassemble and test the door.
