washing machine repairs

Hi

does anyone know of someone to fix washing machines? Ours has stopped working with the door locked, naturally it is full of washing which at the very least we need to extract!

Thanks ste860 yes it is a front loader

I have now managed to get the door open and the washing out - I have a feeling it is the drum that is the problem. It is making a very strange noise.

It is a Hotpoint which we brought from the UK with us. Very careful with bra wires as have had that problem before - already checked none missing try to wash them in bag to avoid this problem. Can be 100% certain on childs sock as well as no children here.

Fingers crossed it now seems to have consented to wash our clothes but it is still making very "non" washing machine noises.

Thanks for your help
