Hi Guys

How do I open the door to a washing machine when it has died mid
cycle.

I cannot power the machine up without tripping the RCD.Â* So it
cannot complete the wash and release the door.

Without a hammer or crowbar is there a way to retrieve the washing?

Thanks

Phil

Thanks guys

I'll try the lid off route tomorrow and try to recover the contents.

As it is around 10 years old it looks like a new one is in order.

If it's not worth fixing at only 10 years old it's not a Bosch / Miele
or AEG.

I dont rate either Bosch or AEG.

Our first new machine *was an Ariston, it lasted 17 years with no
more than
door seals and a door handle (perhaps a switch as well- although that
may
have been a later Ariston).Â* Since then, others of various makes have
typically lasted 5 or 6 years with little difference between makes.
We now
only buy machines which have 5 year a warranty included and plan on
replacing then when they die, unless it is something trivial.

* we bought a s/h machine when we were students, it lasted several
years.


Our experience with AEG ( admittedly not washing machines) hasnt been
good. Ditto Bosch.



Bosch these days are total junk.


When did they, in your opinion, stop being good / start being total junk?

I dunno.

I dont buy white goods more than hopefully every 20 years
