Why does myAmana 7300 front load washer door not open?

Sometimes this can happen when the power button does not return completely when pressed in. My cheap & cheerful solution was to use a bit of Blu-Tak on the button, so I could pull it all the way out.

It may think the door is open, front load machines will not proceed to fill if they cannot sense a locked door...

Had a similar problem with a front loader of a different brand. The latch mechanism was worn. Fixed that, fixed the problem.

1. Remove the lower panel under the door by loosening the three screws under the bottom edge on the front of the washer. HINT: If you prop up the front feet of the washer with some small blocks of wood, this will make access to the screws much easier.
2. With the screws removed, the lower panel should drop down then come off. If the panel sticks, a light tap on either side will knock it loose.
3. Reach your hand up inside the washer behind the front casing on the right-hand side. This is where the door latch assembly is located.
4. At the bottom of the door latch assembly is a small pull tab. This is the manual release for the door. Pull the tab straight down and the door will come open.

it's probably the innerlock, is the door locked?? if not it could be the innerlock

You can try either prying the door open and then replacig the door switch which is probably what caused the problem in the first place. Or try unplugging the machine for several hours, press and hold power button for a few seconds, wait half hour more, plug back in to see if it resets itself.

There is an override switch directly below the latch under the machine on most front loaders.

is water still in the machine. if so check the pump (the little door at the base of the machine) first use that little tube to drain the water. there is a safety feature on front load washers that does not allow the washer to open if it is full of water

Open the little door on the lower left corner of the front of the machine, and pull on the red tab in there. door will pop.
