T6.1 left hand kitchen door handle

[Johnny Rocket]

Huh. My 6.1 too. Sort of. The sticky-out bit on the handle seems OK, but there was a sticky-out bit on the receiver too, and that's fallen off. A stupidly tiny thin bit of plastic.

Result is much the same - door refuses to stay shut. Has anyone else encountered this?

To add to the plethora of comments about this issue, my door catch broke too, and the dealer rather grumpily supplied a new catch but declined to replace the damaged static part, which during the extraction of the broken tang from the door catch which was jammed in the semi-circular orifice, lost the vertical section (underneath my aluminium repair strap) and which allows the barb to latch.

I effected this repair, which saved a lot of aggro in not having to try to get at the back side of the cupboard panel from inside the galley furniture:

I am pretty sure it breaks because the RH door slides all the way left behind the LH door and hits the LH door catch breaking it.

I have an ocean T6 not 6.1 and the left latch of the kitchen broke but can't find the part number. Anyone can help by chance?

An unusually poor piece of design on the 6.1

Agree. It is not even worth replacing it because the same thing will happen again and again. No one tested it. Luckily the doors don't slide easily without the latch, so I just leave it broken.

Slide the right hand door back and crack.
I have too had to learn the hard way.
New one ordered Left Door Handle 7LA 068 025 B

Left side catch on our Cali has broken too. After removing the three allen bolts my husband has just tried to araldite the catch back to the plastic handle.

But the point of this post is that we found that there's a "protective bracket" that you can 3D print and stick to the backside of the handle. This acts as a buffer to take any knock from the right hand door and stop it shearing the catch off.

Took 30 minutes to print one out on his 3D printer, at a cost of about 10p in plastic filament. File available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6751522





Going to order a new handle anyway, and will stick a bracket on that one immediately before fitting it...

The left hand kitchen door handle split close to where it is screwed to the door and eventually broke off completely. Is this common on T6.1s ?

Just replaced mine, took 5 minutes. Lasted 3 years and cost me 15 quid inc post to repair. Unless it was happening every few months I'm happy to do it again in 3 years and save me the worry and faff.
