Just a thought, could the child lock be active?

ParticipantRe: sealed tub
Thanks for the interest Martin. It takes a bit of time to do the job right, but I hate to be defeated.
I have opened them with a hand saw but now getting old/lazy so use a reciprocating saw with a short 10tpi blade. The B&D scorpion is safer as the blade has a shorter stroke but they don’t last long before needing repair. I find most tanks are best cut open at the weld.
I currently reassemble with a high temperature (195C) ‘hot melt’ glue gun and Tecbond 263 glue sticks for which are designed to bond polypropylene and are stable up to 105C. Normal DIY glue sticks will not adhere to pp and the melt temperature is too low.
Once glued I drill and screw the front to the back in at least 5 positions using self tapping screws and speed clips (I fit more for faster and higher capacity tanks)
If interested it’s worth cutting one or two different tanks open to see what problems need to be addressed during re-assembly. I have done a number of Beko, many Merloni and the odd Whirlpool tank. Where present I use different methods to seal the internal pressure system depending on the version of tank I am working on.

ParticipantRe: sealed tub
Have done about 60 sealed tubs over the last few years using various methods. Now use mixture of welding and hot polypropylene glue with a number of screws for extra support where needed. All rental machines so I would get them back if there is any kind of problem.
