Question

Hello, I had an issue with the door opening on my Splendide Comb-O-Matic 6200 washer / dryer. I pulled on the plastic door handle after waiting for the status light to blink slowly, and the plastic handle snapped off in my own hands. I cannot get the door to open, and the handle needs to be fixed. Can I do this myself or do I need a service technician? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
