Broken handle my danby washer door handle broke i need to get a new part please, i search many sites and no results for this product

Remove door panel, then unbolt handle. Verify no screws in door panel then yank. Screws probably in armrest and by door handle, maybe under switch pod lid

use something to press or pull the lever that is left to open the door

You should be able to order one from Splendide. In the meantime, try using a screw driver to manually push the door release button.

Look in yellow pages if you are in the U/K, and ring Hotpoint service, who are the service agents for Ariston.

I went to the RV dealer and looked at a new unit to see how the door handle actuates. After I understood that, I was able to take a screwdriver and GENTLY duplicate the same action. I had some success for several months after gluing up the broken handle before it broke again. The second gluing attempt didn't hold at all so we'll be purchasing a new handle unit. From some of the reader's forums, it is indicated that this is a very common problem. Supposedly, they have reinforced this replacement part. Unfortunately, you can't just purchase the piece that's broken. You have to buy the whole assembly for $40-$50. Nice after market income for the manufacturer since it happens so often - expensive for us. I just hope the new one is sturdier.

yes contact your local appliance dealer or if you have the manuals that came with this dryer contact the manufactuer by the listing on thier literature.

Online customer has requested assistance for the following part search:
Brand Name: Danby
Item Description: WASHER DOOR HANDLE
Model & Serial Number and Full Description:
DANBY MODEL DWM5500W-1 FRONT LOAD WASHER THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF . THE LOCK MECHANISM STILL GOOD. NEED ONLY THE PLASTIC PART OF THE DOOR , WHERE THE HANDLE IS ATTACHED. THE SEE THROUGH WINDOW IS GOOD.

I just fixed this problem - it is very easy and Danby was very helpful.

FIRST OFF - Why this happens: when the washer finishes a cycle, you must wait and additional 2 MINUTES prior to the washer unlocking. That is probably why people break the washer.

Now for the solution - Danby sells the part for under $5.00, part number 533. They will send you a pdf file with an illustration of all the washer parts so if something else broke, you could replace it.

go to Danby.com or call 419-425-8627

Sometimes there is a long wait which is no fun. Ask the receptionist to put you thru to the manager and the manager will take your number and have a parts person call you.

Good luck!
