Malber WD2000 Front Load Washer / Dryer Questions & Answers
Washer is not working?
Most likely solution: The door latch assembly. When the door closes, the internal latch electronics must "sense" that the door is closed, but sometimes doesn't. When it correctly senses a closed door, it "locks" the door (electronically) and the door can't be opened until the machine has been OFF for about 100 secs. If the door doesn't "lock" when closed, it's just not sensing that it's closed. Solution: Close the door a bit more forcefully. I've seen cases where the door would need to be closed pretty hard, 3-4 times before it "locked". Once it senses the door is closed, and locks, the machine operates normally. The latch assy can be replaced, but often develops the same problem, eventually. Slamming the door won't hurt it.
Malber WD2000 door won't open
Malbers use a thermal (heat acting) latch to hold the door closed, so it stays latched for about 2 mins after being turned off. This is to give you time to think before you open the door and possibly spill water all over your feet. When the little bi-metallic piece cools off, it bends to one side (inside the latch assy) releasing the catch, and the door can be opened. Sometimes, the bi-metallic part bends OK, but the latch catches and won't release. It just needs a little vibration to free it up. A smack to the latch area (on door or face of Washer) will free the latch.
I tell my customers: Don't pull too ******* the white door handle. If you can't open it with your little finger (seriously) it's not ready to open!

What kind of soup i need to use
Hi Roy,
According to Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet), when in doubt, go with Chicken Soup.
Whether an entree or a sick child, it might not help in the grand scheme of things, but it sure can't hurt either.
Best regards,
Mike
The starter button on my Malber WD2000 combination washer-dryer doesn't work. Can it be fixed
Nuts....As of extensive searches made during the first week of April, 2018, it appears that Malber Distribution Corp. is no longer in business. Sadly, it also appears as though no other company has taken up the distribution of Malber parts in the United States. Furthermore, extensive search for Malber Appliance or parts in Malber's home, Italy, have proved unsuccessful.
