Broken washing machine handle
Hello, our washing machine (LG DirectDrive 8/4kg washer dryer F1496AD Motion) door is stuck shut.
It seems the handle inside the door has either snapped or broken as it is loose and not able to open the door.
I have washing stuck inside and I’m not sure what to do!
There is local appliance repair services that will do a call out for £100 (I’m in Scotland), with extra for any repairs or supplies needed.
Is this worthwhile or is it likely I will need to replace the machine?
I’m not sure how old the machine is, it was left when we moved in.
Thank you so much!!
Note: I’m on a tight budget so looking not to have to call out for repairs and end up needing to replace the machine!
