Today isn't the ideal day for the ping****it in the door handle of your
washer-drier to break! Never happened with any of the "real" Hotpoints
I've had, thanks for engineering it down to the bone Indesit.

Now to try and get the previous load out ...

On mine if you hold the stop button in for a while you can open the door.

Not when it's physically buggered, the string did the trick though.

Having to wait to be allowed to open the door is another
Hotpoint-Indesit gripe (if it was powered by a turbojet it might take 3
minutes to safely open the door, real Hotpoints allowed opening the door
the second the drum stopped).

+1. We didn't have the Hotpoint (that model anyway) long enough for the
handle to fail, though!
