Possible Causes

Door lock still hot and engaged, Water level not fully drained, Faulty door lock mechanism, Blocked pressure switch keeping lock engaged

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Wait a few minutes: Many Hansa locks release 1–2 minutes after power off. Wait and listen for a click.
  • Check water level: If water is visible in the drum, drain via the pump filter and emergency drain hose (if fitted). The door will not open if water level is high.
  • Use emergency release: Access the manual door release near the pump filter (see your model's manual) to open the door.
  • Replace door lock: If the problem repeats, replace the door lock assembly.
