There should be a LOCK ICON with an LED to tell you whether the Front Load door is locked or unlocked.
If the machine door wont open after the wash cycle, the dryer function or the drainage function hasnt completed.
What you can try is just choose the dryer function after the completed wash cycle if the problem arises again.
IF that doesnt work, then look at bottom of the machine; there should be a flap present which you generally open up to get to the manual drainage valve.. you just pull that open and drain any leftover water .. After the water recedes.. the LOCK icon should be off and you can then open the front load door
There are many reasons why the door may be jammed shut -
1. The water hasn't pumped out properly and the washing machine has a pneumatic door safety lock (a rubber hose connected to the door interlock and connected to a pressure chamber bottle on the tub - water forces air up this tube and locks the door) 2. Washing machine won't empty water 3. The water has pumped out properly, but a blockage of gunge inside the pressure chamber bottle is trapping the air that's operating the door lock (if a pneumatic lock is fitted - not many have these days due to cost cutting) 4. Door interlock jammed 5. Door catch, handle, or mechanism broken Try running Just the rinse spin cycle again,
if there a advance cycle button push it an see if the timer will advance to spin if not turn the power off to washer an wait a couple mintue an the door will open
Unplug machine, take lid off and locate the door lock. You will have to use a small screwdriver or something to release the lock. Then replace your door handle.
TURN MACHINE ON TO FINISH CYCLE THEN RE WASH WITH SOAP ETCH,DOOR WILL NOT OPEN MID CYCLE SAFTY LATCH,YOU CAN TURN PROGRAM TO FINAL SPIN TO EMPTY MACHINE AND FINISH PROGRAM THEN DOOR WILL OPEN
slide in a piece of string around the door. if lock is on the right, pull round the door til the pieces of string are at left of the door and pull left quite firmly.
take the top off the machine,put your hand down to the reigon of the door lock and by using a small screw driver the catch on the door can be forced open without doing any damage.
