Step 2: Check if there is an emergency switch at the bottom of the washer

Some washing machines have an emergency door lock switch at the bottom of the machine, which can be pressed to open the door lock.

Step 3: Use the tool to open the door lock

A stronger cord such as nylon or fishing line can be used around the perimeter of the door and gradually reduced in size to allow the cord to hook into the lock to open the door.
