    Partly a spares question, but I need some other info first.

    Just spoken to this customer on the phone. Built in machine with the door handle broken off with the door closed, hence no 12NC number.

    I sounds as though I may have to force the door to get it open, due to tiles she says are right up to the front of machine.

    Question, will this be likely to break the door latch, door trim, interlock or all three.
    Second question, anyone know the part numbers of the above without the 12NC number?

    Jim.

    Door handle 481231028224

    You can usually open this machine with a screwdriver on the hook without breaking anything else. Through the hole where the door handle was IIRC.

    Cheers Baz, she has actually phoned back to say she has tweaked it open with a small nail file. 😆

    No need to break in. I use a piece of string, middle of string fed in between machine and door at lock, ends fed in and worked round to opposite side, pull to the side and the lock opens.
    Works on a lot machines too.
