Hoover door won't close or lock after fitting new handle
I followed all the instructions as per the video but now the door won't close tightly or lock. The spring is positioned in front of the part of the latch with the little hook bit. Should I still be able to see the flat part of the spring when it is fully assembled. I thought I would save myself money by replacing this myself but at this rate I am going to have to call someone out....I need my washing machine working!!! Please help someone before I lose the will to live!!!!

When the door is open the handle and latch must be sprung into the locked position moving when the handle is pressed. Have a look at our Video linked from this part for more details as it suggests either the spring is in the wrong position or the latch is not 'hooking' due to it being fitted 'backwards'.
