How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Do not force the door open with excessive force to avoid glass breakage.
- Wait for safety delay: After power-off, wait several minutes for the lock to cool and release. Try opening gently.
- Use emergency release (if equipped): Some Gorenje models have an emergency door release accessible through the pump filter area. Pull the release tab to open the door.
- Inspect door handle and latch: Check for broken plastic parts that may prevent the latch from retracting.
- Replace door lock (advanced): Access and replace the door lock assembly as described for E7 if it remains jammed or tests open.
