Waching Machine Handle Snapped off
22 Answers
I went to open the door to get my washing out and the handle snapped off and I can't get my washing out. The machine is an Indesit W133S.
I've tried gently trying to lever it open with a screwdriver and other assorted things but no joy and I don't want to risk causing any further damage.
Does anyone know how I can get my washing out initially with the minimum damage (and potentially foolproof for me factor) and know whether it is easy to get a replacement handle (as cheap as possible as things are incredibly tight at the moment).
If I can get another one cheap I can hopefully find a friend who is far better at fixing things than I am to fix it on. I'm guessing superglue (not that I have any here now) won't be strong enough.
Thank you for any help, am panicking!

Hopefully I can get a replacement Tony. I've just been looking online and couldn't find anything on Ebay but found one doorkit I think would fit (and a great instruction video) which is pretty cheap but only in white and my machine is silver :( Off to continue the search now as need to get it sorted asap.
A friend has also offered to come help me fix it on too who had more tools so more effective screwdrivers etc...
This site is truly wonderful and a godsend having people so willing to give their time to help :)
