Electrolux washer door won't open? The handle kit explained

The handle, spring and lever lock work together to release the door and let it close again. Each time the handle is pulled, the spring returns it to rest. With daily use, the handle can crack, the spring can lose tension or snap, and the lever can wear until it no longer releases the catch. The usual signs are a handle that flops loosely, one that pulls without opening the door, or a door that won't latch shut. The door also stays locked during and just after a cycle, so wait for the lock to release before blaming the handle.

Replacing the door handle parts

Unplug the washer before working on the door. The handle is usually reached by separating the inner and outer door frames, so you may need to take the door off and lay it on a soft surface. Note how the spring is hooked before taking anything apart and fit the new lever lock and spring exactly as the originals sat. Check the door opens with a light pull and closes with a firm click.
