my samsung front-loading washing machine
door won't open i just put it on a
i had it on a
quick wash cycle
can i get some tie-dye thing washed
and i waited for a while i waited for
five minutes if there was a power off
while i was away when i power on i can
see that it's got this symbol here which
means the door is locked
i wanted to make sure i didn't have
child lock engaged so i held those two
buttons down for three seconds and
that's the child lock so it's not a
child lock stopping me from opening it
so
if i get my
flashlight
and look inside here you can see that
it's not opening the door
because
there is still water we don't want to
get water all over the floor especially
this tie-dye water so i've got a couple
of choices
i open this little panel
get into the drain
um
take the filter out which there may be
something in the filter which is
stopping it from draining
and i'm not going to try that until i
just turn it on
and
kill the child long
and i'm going to do basically a rinse
and spin to see you can do is
[Music]
not rinse at all
and not spin at all so if i do that
and if i can see water going down
yep
see there on the right the level of
water is slowly going down so that
should enable me
to
open the door
i don't know why it didn't
why didn't drain on the first cycle
so that's something worth investigating
so after it's done that i will go into
the filter and see if there's anything
in there just to say that it doesn't
happen again
you see it's still taking water down at
the back
making a funny noise
so there's the draining noise which i'm
expecting
but when it's rotating the drum it's
about this little
plus a little metal thing in there
somewhere
so that
the lock symbol has gone off now in less
than zero so
should be able to
open the door figure out what was going
on
[Music]
stone or something
and a 20 piece maybe that was upsetting
it was going to go check this thing now
i imagine some water will come out
i got my towel ready
and check the filter
to see what is going to come out let's
see if there's anything else in there
that may have interrupted the cycle
so there's some
more
drain
apart from a few little bits of hair
which you're supposed to clean every
month
the filter looks good
i don't see anything
down there
it shouldn't be there
so hopefully
next time i run my washing machine
everything should be hunky-dory so i'm
going to
try that again it wouldn't hurt to put
this tie-dye through
tie-dye's in there
wash
with uh one
super cold
one spin
and i find that in 12 minutes whether
my washing machine is upset with me
and i got 20 pence which is about
something like about
28 cents in american money
come on
now the door's locked ah the door's
unlocked
boom
