Hi, once the cycle is finished you hear the door unlock but it is difficult to open. I’m not sure if it’s just the handle not opening the catch enough or wether it’s the electronic part. Don’t see any error codes. If it’s just the handle do I need to replace the entire door as I don’t see any breakdown of parts.
Re: Panasonic NA-140VX3 door problems
Yeah I do not see a break down either! 97 quid for a whole door for heavensake almost as bad as some Siemens machines where the handle is not obtainable only a whole door!
MIGHT be ebay item 112280113577. 7 quid not bad! WOWdiscounts is allied to Partmaster under different trading name. Have a look. Tried to X ref the stated model number axwidh55346 ( though that could be the part number??? ) but does not seem to exist as far as I can tell so not at all sure what is up there but info on this stuff hard to come by. Phone up Whitegoods parts and ask if all else fails.
General notes: if the door handle freely moves FULLY the door`s striker ( the metal bit ) it won`t be the handle. However if there is any floppyness it could be that that is the problem OR a broken door frame lugs and if so your back to buying expensive door. Could be the door has dropped on a worn hinge so does not engage the sticker into the door lock square on, close the door slowly and check it. Hinge is available as a seperate part. As far as the lock goes doubtful that is messed up.
