My door is locked, how do i unlock it?
For model number MHN30PDBWW0
Hi Scott, Thank you for your question. First and foremost, unplug your appliance from the outlet. You will need to remove your front lower kickplate on your machine so that you can access the door lock latch. Once you have removed this part, reach up into the machine where your door lock is. It will be in the same spot that lines up with the strike on your door. There is a manual release that you can pull to unlock your door. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Great video tutorials

I ordered and timely received this part and the door lock. The part of the hook that inserts in the door lock had broken off inside the lock and I had to replace the lock as well as the hook. The repair went "by the book" and I had zero problems. I would note that getting the steel band that locks the gasket in place back on the door was a pain because of the tension on the spring. Fortunately, I found something that looks like a crocheting needle (hook) with a screw driver handle at the hardware store after describing my problem and showing the gasket to one of the salesmen. He knew right off what would work. Trying to accomplish it with a screwdriver and prying it back on the door without messing up the rubber waffle gasket would have been problematic. I would and probably will be ordering parts in the future.
