I have an apartment building full of these machines. Today I had a machine that the door is locked and will not release. Machine works fine except for the fact that you can’t put any clothes in! It will not release, per manual, in the time or anytime powering unit down to let the latch cool. Does anyone have a way to open the door to replace the latch ?
Hello
To get the door open, remove the top and reach down to release the latch by pulling the release tab down. Not much wiggle-room but it beats a crowbar to the door. Unfortunately the tab pull is also under the latch assembly. If there are any remnants of water still in the tub, the pressure switch will not allow the door to open. I have had success draining the tub with my shop vac to get it to release. If not, there’s always the crowbar. See links below
