Hi i'm Mat from eSpares.
In this video i'll show you how to replace a door lock on this bosch washing machine.
If your washing machine lights up correctly but doesn't start a program
or the door is stuck at the end of a cycle or it shows an error code like this.
The problem is likely to be with the door lock.
However, if the handle on your washing machine door is loose
or the door won't latch properly.
The problem lies with the handle and you'll need to replace that.
And you can learn how to do that in another of our eSpares videos.
Now safety first always disconnect an appliance before carrying out any work.
To access the door lock I need to open the door and release the door seal from the outer panel.
Now there is a sprung retaining band that goes all the way around the door seal holding it in place.
All we need to do is locate the spring and I can see it's near the door hinge here.
Work a flat headed screwdriver underneath it and gently pull it away from the door seal.
Making sure you don't damage the cabinet or the seal itself.
You can then push the door seal inside the door.
With the door seal released, I can now reach in and grab a hold of the door lock.
And using a screwdriver I can just push in these pips one at a time.
And then take the lock out.
And here we can see the electrical connection and also the emergency door release.
So just turn the lock till the door release comes off and then I can disconnect the electrical connections.
grab your new lock I'll reconnect the emergency door release first.
As you can see I'm just going to line that up with the shape on the emergency door release.
And twist so it's firmly in position.
I can then reconnect the electrical connection.
If you put the profile that's nearest the opening in first.
As it has a groove which holds it in place on the front panel.
Like so.
Then push it towards the front panel and make sure the pips go back into their holes.
I can then refit the door seal and the retaining band.
If you are having trouble getting the door seal on correctly.
You can use a bit of washing-up liquid.
And work it round the area of the door seal that comes in contact with the front panel.
Just so it lubricates it making it easier to slip on.
Now with the spring retaining band it's a good idea not to put the spring at the bottom of the door seal.
In case you do have a leak which will rust the spring.
So it's a good idea to put it on one of the sides.
And then you can work the rest of the band around the door seal.
So there we have it one door lock replaced on this Bosch washing machine.
