My washing machine (LG WD80260NP) is locked with clothes inside and the door handle is broken. How do I open the door? Thank you
If clothes are still in washer? and machine has finished cycles? then handle broke so unable to open ??? your best option is to unplug/ and if necessary disconnect water supply hoses then remove the top screws from rear panel which also secure the top panel as you will observe ? then pull backwards top panel and loft off ? you now have access/visual of the door catch inside front machine look?? at the catch and you will see how it locks ? you can lever the catch gently and door opens to fit a new door catch is easy diy and not expensive if you are confident usual problem these break ? is the time delay micro switch sticks with age /moisture try dw40 and work plunger b4 you refit door back after replacing handle/catch assy

The handle broke when I opened the door (heard a crack and the handle is now "loose" but still in place)
Have you tried unplugging the unit for at least 10 minutes?
