Diagnose (and fix) my washing machine.

Question

I have just bought an old, second hand washing machine (Crystal Lady 410). It is loaded from the top. There is a door on the top and beneath it, a drum that rotates around a horrizontal axis. To load/empty, there is a door in the drum that must be aligned to the top opening.

Having worked successfully once, it is now stuck. The drum door is not visible or accesible.

I speculate that the problem may be that the door in the drum has come open and the clothes are obstructing the spin, but I don't know what to do.

Any suggestions to diagnosis, repair or where I can find details on this model of machine?

Answer 1

Can you get the top up to get access to the drum?(Try slipping a putty knife under the top to release the latches)
