The door is jammed on my washing machine. How can I open it?

Mrs Muir, August 2004

Hi Mrs Muire you do not say if your washer has broken down with washing or water inside, if this is the case you will have to drain the water out of the machine by taking the drain pipe out of the drain and putting the end in a bowl on the floor the water will drain out and then the door should open
