I'm writing this blind - my sister has asked me to check out her Zanussi
washing machine "before she bins the bloody thing" - model number
unknown.

The problem that she's described is that the door refuses to open.

Any handy hints, tips, pointers, experience?

Thanks, in advance.

Mike.


Door handle broken, water in tub ?

Too early for me to say (not seen it yet), if water is in tub, any way to
drain?, surely if power removed then door could be opened?

A lot of Zanussi machines have a pressure tube from the pump filter which
locks the door regardless of the electric supply, you can drain it by
removal of the pump filter.
