Buttons broken
Hi All,
I think I pushed too much one button last night and as a result, all the buttons were pushed inside the washing machine, as per picture. I can still see them from the outside, I don’t think they are broken I just need to figure out a way to bring them back to their original position.
The washing machine is a HJA 8513. Any idea?
Thank you!

HJA 8513 control buttons pushed into fascia
- The problem
- On a HJA 8513 washing machine, all the front control buttons had been pushed inside the machine. The buttons were still visible from the outside and did not appear to be snapped off.
- Likely cause
- The buttons had likely become displaced behind the fascia after being pushed too hard. A broken retaining part was mentioned as a possibility, but this was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to disconnect the washing machine from the mains, remove the lid, and try to reposition the buttons from the inside. If any part was found to be properly broken, it would need replacement. The original poster then confirmed the advice had been followed and marked the thread solved.
- Checks to try
- Buttons were still visible from the outside
- Lid removed to access the buttons from inside
Safety: Disconnect the washing machine from the mains before removing the lid or accessing internal parts.

Hello there. You just need to disconnect the washing machine from the mains, then take off the lid. Hopefully you can reposition them from the other side. But if something does broken properly it will need replacing.
