how to open the filter?

Hotpoint FEW12.
Filter on right behind kick plate.
It will turn but not come out, Why?
Ken Hewitt, April 2011
Rubbish in the filter is holding the filter from coming out.no easy way to over come this other than wiggle and pull and hope something releases.sometimes they break off.This is usually because they have been neglected far to long allowing excessive amounts of scale and bits in the filter/housing area
