I will try and help with this problem about Bosch WVTI2842 Washer Dryer,

Hi Carol,

Thanks for reaching out about the fault with your Bosch washer dryer. The model number you provided is incomplete, so I can't pull up the exact diagram for your machine. However, I did manage to find one for model WVT1284GB/07. The missing part of your model number is likely similar to this format.

You can find the complete model number on the identification plate of your appliance. This article should help you understand the issue with your door mechanism. The door button is attached to the top facial panel and involves a few components. In the PDF diagram I uploaded, you’ll see that 0113 is the button mechanism.

I don't think the button or cable itself is worn out. It's more likely that the door lock or push button mechanism is faulty. Sometimes, the plastic on the button wears out, making it sloppy and hard to open the door easily. There are also views of the door assembly, so you might have an issue with the pecker pin or spring.

Without seeing the machine, it's hard to give precise assistance. One of these components has probably become loose, causing your trouble. I suggest getting someone experienced to look at the door lock mechanism. It can sometimes be adjusted with a spacer, but explaining how to do this without seeing it is tough.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I hope the PDF clarifies which components might need adjusting. Once you have the full model number, feel free to come back for parts, and I'll get you the correct details.

Best regards,
Paul
