Help,

I've got a coin stuck inside the drum of my washing machine which makes
a clanking noise at certain times. I'm convinced it's going to cause
some damage long term so need to get it out. Anyone ever done this?

I phoned a service engineer and he did the classic sharp intake of
breath and quoted lots of things to be done to get things out of the
drum and the quoted £38 just to appear at the door plus £32 per hour on
top of that (plus parts).

Thanks

take off the seal around the door and tilt the machine forward. hopefully
you should be able to see it and get it out.

try removing the sump hose and see if you can reach it from there, the
chances are that it is in the pump anyway.
