Hello
I have a jammed door on my siemens washing machine. The door handle seems to be flapping a bit - certainly looser than usual. It pulls out but the door stays closed tight.

I tried using the emergency release handle down behind the filter cover but it did not work and it has now flipped out of sight up into the body of the machine.

Any ideas how to open the door? I need to get the clothes out and hopefully repair the door handle without having to buy a replacement. I imaging I may need to go in through the rear of the machine but don't know quite how to do this?

Does anybody know where I might find a service manual? The Siemens website and Google both offer nothing of use. I have the standard user's manual....

Any advice welcome.
 
Step One: Get a sledgehammer
Step Two: Bang on your washing machine until it opens.
Step Three: Get clothes and buy Mighty Putty to repair machine.
Step Four: Enjoy
