Hotpoint Washing Machine Door Lock

The interlock that locks the door during a cycle and tells the control board it is safe to start.

Signs it has failed

• The door will not lock and the cycle never starts
• The door will not open after a cycle has ended
• A door-related fault code or the machine stopping mid-cycle
• The handle is loose or the latch tab no longer clicks

Check before you buy

• Close the door firmly and listen for a click from the lock
• Look at the door hook or latch for wear or a broken tab
• Wait a few minutes after a cycle: many locks stay shut until a delay has passed

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 machine
2. Open the door (use the emergency release if it is stuck) and peel back the front of the door seal if the lock sits behind it
3. Remove the two or three screws holding the lock
4. Photograph and unplug the connector, then fit the new lock and reconnect
5. Refit the seal and test with a short cycle

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

Locks vary by connector layout, hook design and delay type. Match the part number from the old lock or your model number.

Fit is per model: a number here is a lead to check against your own rating plate, not a promise it fits your machine. Searching the exact number is the most reliable way to find the right part.

Some numbers are used across Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda and other Whirlpool-group brands. Numbers starting C00 are the Hotpoint/Indesit manufacturer reference format. If your old part has a number printed on it, match that first.
