If you switched it off at the wall would the door not open (with a bucket ready?)

I think it should but the socket for an integrated machine may be a bit tricky to locate. Mine is right at the back of an adjacent cupboard.

You shut it off, get the drainage hose out of the back of the machine and put it low on the ground and drain water into a basin. When all the water is out the door will open.

No, I don't think you can. I think an adult can be reasonably expected to switch the machine off, drain the water and then remove the clothes within a day or two. In fact, I would go as far as to say that if the machine has any issues due to the mould, you would now be responsible for fixing that.

A new build apartment means it must have complied with recent building control requirement so there must be an isolated switches for all build in appliances, normally on a seperate panel somewhere, if the main plug is behind the appliance.
Otherwise the mains plug may be inside one of the cupards.

I have to say that I'm struggling with the idea that two professional adults have been waiting a week for someone else to sort out their washing machine.

A few seconds doing a google search threw up numerous hacks on how to do this.

If in doubt google.

No one is responsible for the spoilt clothes, only you op.

If (seems unlikely) the plug/isolator cann be found or reached, the main Consumer Unit will do the same job. Either trip the relevant fuse or switch the enire lot off for a couple of minutes,..........

A quick search of utube shows dozens of vids on opening the door.

I assume you've written a formal letter to the landlord at the proper address reporting the issue?

Is the washing machine covered by warranty? Contacted the manufacturer?

My partner and I are both working professionals and struggling to wash all our clothes in the tiny sink every day.

Arrange a service wash ?


Even if you haven't got a launderette nearby there are lots of companies that do it & some even collect / deliver

Can I invoice LL/agent for clothes stuck in washing machine?.............

Yeah, no trouble:

You can also invoice Mother Theresa for having terrible kitten heels and David Davis for not realising he has a "negotiation" to handle, not a "shouting match".

But I doubt any will pay up.

(Well, you did ask...)

Do you have the instructions for the washing machine? Ours lets you manually release the door when stuck like this.
