Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Door Handle

The handle (or door catch) used to open and close the appliance door.

Signs it has failed

• A cracked, loose or broken handle
• A door that will not latch or release properly
• A handle that has snapped at the fixing
• A handle that has come away from the door

Check before you buy

• Check how the handle is fixed (screws, clips or behind a trim)
• Look at the catch or latch the handle operates
• Check the door itself is not warped or the hinge dropped

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your tumble dryer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the appliance
2. Open the door and remove the fixings or trim holding the handle
3. Remove the old handle and clean the area
4. Fit the new handle and secure it
5. Check the door opens, closes and latches properly

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Handles vary by shape, colour and fixing. Match the part number or your model number and compare the listing photo with your own handle.
