AEG Lavamat 16810 washer/dryer door wont open

Hi

Hi our washer dryer was working ok – did a load of washing today took some out to dry on the radiator left some towels and dressing gown in the dryer – was on an hour and beeped to say it had finished.

When I came to get the clothes out the door will not open.
I have tried several times and put it back on to dry for another 10 mins but still stuck.

Cant see any water in there, clothing looks very dry/crumpled.

Will be really stuck without a washing machine

Its an AEG Lavamat 16810 turbo electronic.

We do have it covered on a British Gas plan but with all the bad weather am sure they will be ages as not priority with all the calls they must be having both heating/pipes in the freeze.

Is there anything I can try and do just to get the washing out?

In the ideal world we would have a washing machine and a seperate dryer but only got a tiny kitchen. Our wiring is not great here – looking to get complete re wire done next year so dont want to mess with anything really.

I will try turning it off at the mains for a bit but switch is behind it and not sure I can drag it out on my own

Thanks in advance for any advice/replies 😀
