General fitting guidance. The exact steps can vary slightly with the make and model of your washing machine.
Safety: Switch off and unplug at the mains before you start.
This is a genuine replacement door interlock.
A key safety feature—it keeps the washing machine door securely shut during wash and spin cycles, so the machine won’t run unless everything’s properly closed. It helps prevent leaks, mid-cycle interruptions, and accidental openings while the drum is spinning.
If your washer refuses to start, stops unexpectedly, or the door isn’t latching as it should, the interlock could be the culprit. Swap it out as needed with this replacement.
This washing machine door interlock is from Hotpoint.
Before ordering, please verify that this door lock works for your model using our compatibility checker.
Easy to fit but I was nervous at fist as it looked different to original part
Bought to attempt to fix a recurring f06 problem with the washing machine. Straightforward to replace with the help of the 'how to' video clip on here. Easy to swap and snaps into place securely. Actually feels much better quality than the original part. Used it now for a few weeks and everything seems fine. Would definitely use again the next time anything goes.
Came very quick and just plug and clicked into place taking no more than 30 seconds and we had our washing machine back ,couldn't ask for better service, perfect thank you
