The door will not open on my washing machine (Bosch WFD 2473). What can I do? I have tried to open it but have not forced it because I don't want to break it further. I have just finished washing clothing and clean wet laundry is wet inside! Any advice/help would be most appreciated!

I find that I can lean against the control panel inadvertently and the machine pauses. You then need to wait at least 3 minutes for the logic to say it is safe to open the door,then either drain or spin.

It's finally opened now. I don't know if the laundry was making it stick but when I opened it, it did not seem to have completely drained. I then switched it to the "Drain" setting and pressed start. After that finished, I switched it to the "Spin" setting and pressed start. When that finished, I opened the door and it seemed fine. We will see what happens next time I do washing!

Thanks anyway. Hope this can help someone else.
