SOURCE: Fixing broken door lock of Indesit W123X washing Machine

no easy way to open
disconnect from mains
take top off. feel down the front to where the door lock is and see if you can feel the door peg sticking thro the door interlock. force this with your fingers and with luck the door will open
if can't do this way, break handle off and lever peg with a small screwdriver
you can buy a handle kit complete. fitting this is not difficult - split the door and all will be revealed advise you make a carefull note of where springs go etc before you start stripping it down or take a few fotos if you have a digicam

You have probably knocked of the connector or the catch (and on these it is very fragile as I have changed the catch 3 times on mine) is broken

I recommend replacing the door latch. It is a fairly common problem. You can get one at repairclinic.com or partselect.com

You have inadvertently set the child lock, hold the start button until it goes off. If this does not work pls post the Enr number and I will check deactivation for your model.

My front loading washer wont start it flash E and DL i dont no what it means can you pls help me?

DL means door lock error. This happens when the door trys to lock 6 times but cant lock.
There a 2 things that create this problem. the door lock mechanism or the CCU ( central control unit )
Replace the door lock mech. first. if this does not fix the problem replace the ccu.

Door lock

Hi,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

To my knowledge, there are two (2) versions of a Frigidaire ATF6000ES Front Load Washer: a) ATF6000ES1 and b) ATF6000ES0, pls which one do you have?

If something is wrong with the washer, it could tell us the error codes and therefore would give us a general idea where to start the diagnosis. Other than the "Door Lock" is not lighted, anything else out of the ordinary? Or is the unit non-functional since it senses that the door is not lock and therefore would not engage any cycle?

To read the error codes, pls:
  • plug the washer to the mains;
  • wake the washer by pressing any button;
  • wait for a few seconds to stabilize the electronics/circuitry;
  • press and hold the Start/Pause and Cancel buttons simultaneously.
As long as the buttons are held, the failure code will appear in the display as an E followed by two (2) numbers, a number and a letter or two (2) letters. The control will beep and the Door Lock, Wash, Rinse and Final Spin indicators will flash. Pls note and postback the error code displayed.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
