AEG Door Stuck Closed

AEG washing machine door will not open at the end of the cycle, no error code

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Water still present in drum, Door lock mechanism jammed, Control board not sending unlock signal, Handle or latch broken

Safety first: Switch off and unplug the washer. Do not force the door open.

Check for water: If water is visible, manually drain via the pump filter and run a drain/spin cycle.
Wait for lock delay: Many AEG locks release 2–5 minutes after power off.
Use emergency release: Access the manual release cord near the pump filter (if fitted) and pull gently to open the door.

If the door remains stuck or the problem recurs, the door lock assembly or handle mechanism should be replaced.
