Description

Door handle for securing washing machine door

Pulling on a lever or other control mechanism while holding it in your hand opens or closes the washing machine door. This action is facilitated by the door handle, which ensures the security of the door. It allows you easy access to the washing machine's drum for loading and unloading your laundry.

What damages a washing machine’s door handle?

Excessive force or rough handling of the handle can cause it to break or become loose. Slamming the door shut or pulling on the handle with too much force can also contribute to damage over time. If the washing machine is overloaded, the increased pressure on the door and handle can lead to wear and tear.

Just the job

What's the most important appliance in the house? Any of them once they have broken but no more so than maybe the washing m/c. As panic took hold of my wife when our door catch broke, I found your website and was really pleased how easy it was to identify, order and receive said part. Easy to fit and no expensive appliance technician. Thanks for the prompt service.

door handle review

The handle was an original replacement, so its a duplicate of the one that I broke. Fitting was a little awkward, but thats down to the hotpoint design. Ransom spares website helped me identify and select the correct component, it was then delivered on schedule. And the you tube video showing how to disassemble and re-assemble was great - Hotpoint could learn a lesson ! Thanks.

Hi Sue, this handle isn't supplied complete with the hook and spring. Please submit a part enquiry with your model details so we can find the rest of the parts required for your washing machine handle.
