How do I correctly replace the door catch on my Indesit 1263W washer?

The plastic door handle on my Indesit 1263W washing machine snapped. I have the correct replacement part. Taking the door off, taking it apart & putting it back together is no problem.

How though, do I correctly assemble the new door handle so that it works? A pivot pin, wire tension spring, metal catch and the handle go together, but at the moment I cannot get any spring tension on the handle. Which way around does the metal catch go, i.e. is the notch facing outwards? Which way does the spring fit?

the metal catch points inwards and the spring fits over to make catch spring back and forth u will see little notch on catch that spring needs to sit under to make it work
