A simple fix to a cassette tape deck door that will not open, assuming the problem is not with a damaged cassette tape itself. Often this occurs when there is a cassette tape in the unit. The Eject Button will not work. Often, also, when the unit is turned on, the Play, Fast Forward and Reverse buttons won't work either.
1. Unplug tape deck unit from the wall outlet/power source. (Power off.)
2. Remove cover.
3. Check that the belts on/by the flywheel are intact, and that none has slipped off. (This Aiwa unit has two belts. Yours may differ.)
4. Looking at the flywheel from the rear of the unit, gently turn the flywheel clockwise just a bit until you hear a click. It might take two or three turns. This should do the trick. If this doesn't work, the problem is something else, obviously.
Eventually you may need new belts anyway, especially if the unit is very old. (Check out Vintage Electronics dot net for the best belts.) If and when you do replace the belts, it is recommended that you have the unit calibrated/tuned up because nice new tight belts will often affect the speed of the flywheel, etc. Qualified techs often use a special cassette tape designed for doing this adjustment.
A "tip of the hat" to John at Northwest Audio Service, Renton, WA, USA, for sharing this simple fix. (July 2023)
