It is the second one I have had and I have been very happy with the machines. But since living frith the girls we have been breaking the door handles. Apparently this is a safety feature. If one tries to force open the door while it is locked then the plastic handle breaks. I am guessing that one of the girls is tying to open the door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I ordered a replacement part. This time I ordered two so that we have a spare. Last time I ordered one it was about $7, this time over $10. That&#8217;s a big increase over 12 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One thing we learned on YouTube was how to open a broken door with a plastic card. It is always handy to keep some old cards to open the door and I have become quite good at doing it without damaging the card.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Replacing the part is relatively easy once you know how. The first time I did it, I took over an hour because I did not pay enough attention to the way the spring was connected. This time I just took the spring and latch out together, slid the new door handle in and reconnected the pin. It took about 10 seconds. To be on the safe side I took a photo first to make sure I knew what it looked like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/9885532276\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"20130923-061443.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/20130923-061443.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/9885542876\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"20130923-061504.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/20130923-061504.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/9885656963\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"20130923-061520.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/20130923-061520.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a LG direct drive washing machine.
