I’ve just replaced mine with the use of your video. Stalled at getting tension on the spring. After checking several times the correct fitting of spring and handle, which I had done correctly. It was the positioning of the two prongs on the spring. It would have been helpful to have shown before putting on the facing panel where these should have been positioned and that sliding the panel across rather than putting it on the top and pushing down would actually made things easier. Took me an age to work it out but do have to say the rest of the video was very helpful. You may want to add a clip pointing out the location of the spring prongs which would make it clearer.😊

Brilliant instructions for fixing the door handle, used 2 other videos, neither showed how to get the back plate for the hinge out, so ours dropped into the depths of the machine, luckily we were able to tip the machine and retrieve it, nor did they mention about the spring position. Well done, you're a life saver!

Always nice to see you repair most anything. The real take away from you or anybody else repairing things is, even if you don't know how something is assembled, taking pictures, or in your case video, as you disassembling anything enables you to reassembly it back again without any issues. And as you disassemble anything, a little general understanding of things really helps to figure out how it works. If you don't have that general ability to understand such things, let someone else do it! Thumbs Up Martin!

Martin, knowing what you know now, you would've got away with not disturbing the door seal if you'd been very careful but it was a wise precaution and not a problem. Who'd have though that even washing machines have Torx screws these days? I've just checked our Beko WMB 714422 B and that has Torx screws too. Nice to know that genuine replacement parts aren't always expensive. We used to have a White Knight 77AW tumble dryer that I'd repaired a few times. We now have a Beko DCU 7230 B that compliments our washing machine quite nicely.

Yes Dave but if a ham fisted person removed the door, they might have still disturbed the bracket so removing is showed how the lugs sit for the rear bracket. Not only that, it also showed how the seal as held in place.

The thing cost 59 Euros and I don't wanna dump it just like that (I'm from Swabia, Germany, and we're legendarily parsimonious...😎). Could you maybe do a video on how to repair melted plastic parts if the rest of the item is still functional? That would be great!

Was a shame as we used to have a beko previously and it lasted us about 10 years, so I assume they're made somewhere different, with lower quality control of late. Was that pi$$ed off with it all, I invested in a Miele. Not cheap, but bl00dy good quality machine!
