Swollen or overheated door lock, Mechanical jam in latch, Faulty door lock release circuit, Broken door handle mechanism
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer. Do not force the door open by pulling hard on the handle.
Step-by-step checks:
- Wait a few minutes: Some Grundig models delay unlocking for 1–2 minutes after cycle end. Listen for the click of the lock.
- Manual release: Use the emergency release near the pump filter to open the door.
- Inspect door handle and latch: If the handle feels loose or does not spring back, replace the handle/latch assembly.
- Replace door lock: If the lock frequently fails to release, replace the door lock assembly.
