Do they have manual and spare part on manufacturers website?
Either way, they should have a support number or email so you can ask them :)

important is u not open force because if hot water hot go to your face melt your face damage\burn your face not forget inside wash machine have boil\hot water, be sure washer machine finish work first to open

Take photos of each step as you disassemble things, and use numbered pieces of tape to secure your small parts (screws. springs, etc), with corresponding numbers on the machine itself.

With a little prep-work, you can repair most things around the house yourself, provided, of course, you can get the replacement parts you require.

Would you please give me an advice ? Even a bundled one would make me happier in these dark times.... 😑

Is this a begging thread in disguise?

even with the notice i'm incompetent but wish good luck! 🤭

Bump and meow

If you have any king of insurance (for the house), i would ask them first just in case.
Guess is out of warranty, but i would just ask the support of it for the price of a new part, and i bet they have a repair service with standard prices so you can ask them too.
Good luck ;) .

Supergluing the pull tab, but the handle might break past the glue point.

Something similar happened to my parents because my mother wants everything to be done fast so she stopped the washing machine a few minutes before the end of the washing and wanted to get everything out fast so she forced the handle with all her strength and broke it as each washing machine have a blockade that will turn out after the washing cycle is done or a few minutes after it is disconnected from electricity.

My father wanted to repair it himself but finding the right handle for this model and getting it to be delivered took 1 week and he had to take the whole washing machine doors apart to repair it and it took him a day before he was able to put the door back together.

So it is much better to let someone who is professional in washing machine repairs do that as maybe he have the parts needed and he should have the skills needed so it will take less time and the washing machine will be working much faster than if you will look for the parts yourself and than probably have to take the whole doors apart and then put them back exactly how they are. Remember that if you will make a mistake you can flood your home.

If they're selling replacements, it shouldn't be that hard. Think of it this way, who would be selling replacement parts in retail, if nobody would need them aside form big service centres?
At the same time check fist how much a repair would cost in case the service itself might not be that expensive, and compared how much time and nerves it would take to do it yourself it might be pointless to even try. It's one thing when you have an instruction/tutorial, another when you first have to figure out how to disassemble things. Otherwise as it was suggested, just document the steps you're taking.

Did the same in the past. Had to replace whole door - nobody was selling handle alone xD

You could order the replacement part, then hire a pro to do the replacement. That way you avoid the pro's mark-up on the price of the part.

Alternatively, schedule the pro to visit, but ask about their cancellation policy. As an example, say it's 24 hours' notice. Then two days before the pro's visit, try to do the repair yourself. If you manage it, cancel the pro in time to avoid a fee. If you can't manage it, the pro's visit is only a day..... aaaaa-...... waaaaaaaay.

I always leave more complicated jobs to a repairman no matter how much my inner tinkerer is tempted by it, just make sure to get the parts yourself if you know exactly what's needed because some tend to overcharge if they also have to procure the parts. No need to replace the whole machine if it does its job sans the handle.

I like how the title implies that people usually break their washing machine on purpose :D
(although I guess it could be a way to meet a cute handyman 👀 )

I mean, if you feel "crafty", if you're sort of a "DIY person", you have the "handyman" skills - whatever you wanna call it - just do it! On the other hand if you're the type of person who calls a "specialist" to operate a can opener you might wish to hire a repairman... All in all replacing the whole machine just over a handle is awfully wasteful - both in terms of money and the ecologicall impact on the planet or something - so you should definetly avoid it. regardless of your choice I wish you success in bringing the washing machine to a fully working condition and many more wash cycles with it :)

I flooded the neighbors when the water outflow pipe somehow popped out from the wall sewage inlet. Washing machines are the worst. Where are the good ole' times of meeting all the villagers by the river with your washboards, discussing the harvest and who died of scurvy last winter?

I've never been much of a DIY person so I can't really give advice there. My gut feeling it that it should not be THAT hard to replace something like this, but a washing maschine does work with water so there probably are gaskets/seals/... involved and that can be annoying...
I guess I would ask myself how old it is, if a new one might be better in some way, etc... And I might ask some of my more DIY oriented coworkers for ideas...

Because why would you want to do it intentionally?

super glue worked on ours until the entire machine broke like 4 years later.
you just need to find the right adhesive based on what material it is

I vote for fixing it yourself.
But I do usually make sure whether it will take a lot of time to do it myself even if I can. If it takes me overly too much time which could be used for something else I just prefer to give it to someone else.

This is a huge dilemma for me when something goes wrong for my car. I studied vehicle engineering, worked on cars for some time and basically could do most of fixing myself.. But as I dont have most of the tools or a lift at home it would most likely take me twice the time and sweat. So I usually decide on giving it to a mechanic to do the job. Right now its the same for changing oil in my car. Its about the easiest thing to do, but as I currently dont have any sensible way of getting under my car it seems like I will just have to give it to someone who can do it in 10-20 minutes.

happened to me too, just search for a fitting replacement and fix it yourself

I assume from you question that you do have some tools and that you are somewhat comfortable/ have some experience doing home repairs yourself, right ?!!

Despite the fact that the shape of the plastic handle can be different, the designs of the doors are very similar.
So watch a few youtube videos "how to replace the door handle of a washing machine" .. after that if you get the idea and you are confident you can repair yours then go ahead .. if you think "it doesn't look the exact same" is a problem then you are better off bringing a repairman for it.

What about duct tape? Isn't duct tape supposed to fix everything??

on a serious note, i doubt i can give a useful advice, so i hope you will have a solution soon
