    Really depends where it is.

    Sump hose off or heater out?

    There was a whole thread on this some years ago. Each engineer has his preferred method.
    From the previous thread I learned that it’s best to poke something flexible (e.g. green plastic coated garden wire) down into the tub gap. Then rotate drum and wire together until item is carried up and drops out under the influence of gravity. Will probably take several attempts. Don’t give up!

    Last one I had I had to take the whole drum out!, could not get object (a key) through seal or element ect.
    Turned out it was stuck behind cross piece.

    Customer had to pay for a tub job though.
