Hello!
That's a nasty situatiuon... Most probably the door is opened and stuck in the heating element. The easyest way is to plug off, drain out the water, take off the right side panel, identify the heating element (it's hold in place with an 8mm screw and has a 3 thicker wire and a connector with 2 thin wires (from heat sensor) remove them, ) loosen the screw, but don't unscrew it completelly. Push the bolt in ant try to pull out the heating element. Once the heating element is out you can rotate manually the drum to the upward position (it won't be easy). It is very possible, that the driving belt to be worn out or to be broken too, ususally it does this when drum is blocked, so most probably you will need to order a new one.
Good luck!
P.S - if all abowe is too complicated, then better call a tehnician!
Hi Zagoni! Thank you for the help. I opened the panels, I can see the clothes in the drum and the driving belt has not broken. But I am not sure what the heating element is? I opened the right hand panel. I can see two yellow wires? It is screwed in- is this the heating element?its a black square plastic housing with a round white plastic section on the left. There are 2 screws I can see. Is this what I must unscrew?

Sounds like the switch which cuts the machine off when the load is unbalanced. My guess is that: This switch is being triggered too easily The springs holding the bowl up are either stretched or one is broken; The machine may not be level.
Perhaps you have to change your lock, this is a sensitive point & will affect the smooth operation of your machine. Re. the inbalance, you hv to screw up & lock the front 2 legs (with check nut), adjust the front legs (screwed up) only to see if the machine does not move during wash/spin.
SOURCE: Washer spins but not enough to extract water from clothes or tub.
could be a loss belt or a kinked hose, since you say it feels weak i would think it is not getting up to speed which would be a loss belt or drive train issue, of course it could just be to big a load or on slow spin speed setting

I suggest that you check the brushes in the motor for wear.
Remove rear panel, remove drive belt, undo bolts securing motor, unplug motor lead and earth wire.
Lever motor back, keeping hold of it, and remove.
Check the brushes, they are at the opp end to the motor pulley, if there is less than 8mm left, then replace brushes.
I would also check the pump filter, and clean if req'd.
Please rate my fixya solution.
Thanks.

I think the belt has come off or has been damaged.
To open the machine slide out the machine. On the back panel lower 1/3 you will see a plastic panel remove the screws and the panel will come away. Inside you will see the belt. I suspect you will need to reattach the belt of remove it and buy a replacement.
