More Details
How do the locks on your washing machine door work?
When the door is closed, the interlock opens, creating a secure connection that enables the machine to start up and operate safely. This mechanism prevents the door from opening while the wash or spin cycles are in progress, protects you from any accidents and guarantees that the machine operates without a hitch.
When should you replace your door interlock?
The interlock may be damaged or worn out if you notice that the door of your washing machine won't latch shut or lock firmly. If the machine refuses to start or stops intermittently mid-cycle, the door interlock may be to blame.
Would this door interlock switch work on my washing machine door?
This door interlock switch fits Indesit and Hotpoint washing machines. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.
