This is why your AMA washer door won't
0:02
open and what you can do about it. Don't
0:04
call a repair man just yet. Let's get
0:06
that door unlocked together. First,
0:08
safety comes first. Unplug your washer
0:10
from the wall before you do anything
0:12
else. Now, check if your washer just
0:14
finished a cycle. Sometimes the door
0:17
stays locked for a few minutes after
0:19
washing. Wait up to 5 minutes. Still
0:22
stuck? Let's try a reset. Plug your
0:26
washer back in. Hold down the cancel or
0:29
pause button for five seconds. Listen
0:31
for a click. That means the lock
0:33
released. If that didn't work, check if
0:36
there's water inside. The washer won't
0:39
open if there's water left. Run a drain
0:41
and spin cycle to clear it out. Still
0:44
stuck? There may be a problem with the
0:47
lock itself. Some models have a small
0:49
access door near the bottom. Open it and
0:52
look for a pull tab or release cord.
0:54
Gently pull to unlock the door. If none
0:57
of these steps work, you might need a
0:59
new door lock assembly. Remember, don't
1:02
force the door open or you could break
1:05
it. If you're unsure, call a
1:07
professional. Now you know what to do
1:09
when your AMA washer door gets stuck.
