1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols

!Electrical Safety Protocol: Disconnect 230V mains power before releasing door gasket clamp or lock retaining screws.
!Never short-circuit or bypass the safety door lock contacts: severe hazard of rotating drum exposure or fire.
!Keep fingers away from spring-loaded latch mechanisms during closure cycling.

3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks

Inspect door strike pin and handle latch hook for plastic deformation, breakage, or misalignment.
Check door hinge alignment: a sagging door prevents the latch tongue from engaging the safety microswitch.
Locate and verify emergency manual pull cord inside the lower drain pump hatch.
