Signs it has failed

Check before you buy

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your washing machine 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.

Check your model number first. It is on the rating plate — usually inside the door frame, on the back or side panel, or inside the appliance. Parts that look identical often differ by model, so match the number to the listing before you order.
