The handle of the hatch is broken. Over time, the handle may become unusable, especially if it consists of plastic parts. Repair the part is impossible, so you need to replace:

  • Remove the Bosch washing machine door by unscrewing the two mounting screws.
  • Unscrew the screws securing the parts of the hatch to divide them into two parts and get the mechanism.
  • Press the latches along the edges, divide the halves.
  • Remove the upper half and the glass.
  • Remove the pin that secures the mechanism, and take it apart.
  • First, replace the spring.
  • Now, having located the latch, hold it, parallel pushing the pin (not to the end).
  • Put the handle on the latch and push the pin all the way in, connecting all parts of the device.
  • Place the glass under the handle, the notch line down.
  • Replace the outer part of the door by pressing the latches. Then install it on the washing machine Bosch. This video will help you:


Skewing of the hinge of the door. This can happen, especially if you hang heavy things on the hatch. You need to adjust or tighten the side brackets, which will return the door to its original position.

The displacement of the tongue-retainer arises from the drop of the metal rod, which holds the tongue in the correct position. When you move the lock does not enter the lock, therefore, the hatch does not close.

Than to help: it is necessary to disassemble a door (as it is described above), to examine a uvula and the handle. If necessary, replace the parts.

Deformation, breakage of the guide, which snaps the hatch. If you do not hear a click when closing, you need to check and replace the guide.
