How to cahnge door lock/catch

Usually with door open there is 2 screws holding the locking assembly in place! Undo all screws and remove whole assembly! Refitting is reverse!

HI IVE GOT A CLK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THE TROUBLE IS YOU DONT USE THE KEY AND THE LOCK SEIZES UP I HAD TO GO IN THROUGHT THE FIRST AID KIT AND CATCH THE CABLE THAT OPERATES THE REAR SEATS THEN CLIMB INTO THE BOOT AND THERE IS TWO BOLTS AT THE LOCK UNDO THEM THEN TAKE THE LOCK OUT AND REPLACE IT OR PERCIVERE WITH PLENTY WD 40 AND TIME

in the inner door lock there is a bi-metal strip they burn out some times or the door striker plate wears they only thing to do is replace the inner door lock ans striker it is a easy fix yourself there are two screws on the inner door catch undo and take the top off your machine screws are at the back lift out the door catch there is a plug on the catch with 3 wires pull out plug if no plug mark wires before taking off there you can take the catch to your local domestic appliance shop give them the make model of your machine and show them the inner catch they might have one in stock if you have not got a local appliance shop go on line and type your make model in and look for parts for your washer they should come up with pictures i use euro parts

It sounds like the classic "someome brushed up against the lock on the door and changed the position to the locked position" ordeal. Try changing the position of the lock in the door. You should be able to look at the lock before you change it and see that it is in the wrong position and can not mate with the receiver (or nader pin). It is classic tha the door won't close when this is the case.

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 do not think it is the door lock that is faulty, more likely to be a weak or broken door spring or broken door catch.
I would replace these first,and then if it is still the same, then replace the door lock.
To replace the spring and or handle catch, undo all the screws that secure the 2 halves of the door, and prize apart the 2 halves,
Replace the spring and catch, reassemble the door.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

normally on zanussi doors they have 5 or 6 screws around the edge on the inside of the door if you try to undo them and take apart the door the handle should come out be carefull not to drop the glass

The instructions above are perfect for most Maytag Dryers, but the Neptune MDE4000AYW is built differently from most. To open it, undo the two screws that run through the door hinges, and remove the door, then undo the two other screws that are on the opposite side of the doorway. With these four screws out, you can lift the front panel UP and out. Make sure you unplug the dryer first :-)

if its the latch tongue remove the top panel...if its the door remove the console
