Yes, genuine AEG parts. But it's all fixed now and wasn't directly related to the replacement door handle or interlock in the end.

I think I understand it now. The door was frequently a bit difficult to close so we had to bang it shut. Over the years, this has pushed the panel on the machine in ever so slightly. It has never been noticeable but I wondered if that could have been the issue and pulled it back out a bit - I...

That wash finished and I put on the next load. I'm now sure the door clicked far more positively that it ever has done (than I can remember) so I think that's been the problem all along (other than the handle breaking): the casing had become slightly bent inwards, meaning the latch didn't fully...

Good thinking! Thanks for that. I've just tried a bit of duct tape but small bits get a bit messy. I also tried some layers of aluminium tape, which is easier to cut and mould around the latch but no difference. I'm assuming it's the leading edge that needs building up if the gate in the...
