The best thing you can do is remove the power lead the take the top panel off and push the drum to the rear and using a small screwdriver remove the lock and replace it from the manufactures website (you can switch off the machine at anytime and restart it by turning it back on and pressing start again depending on the type of machine of course) eric

does the door still lock? becasue it sounds like a faulty lock. It may need to be replaced.

It happened on our machine. The soloution to this for me was to take the lid off (two screws). Unplugged from mains. I found the connector to the door had vibrated off and was just hanging loose. Plugged it back in and it worked straight away.Door opens as normal.
Don't forget to look in the manual for how to get the door open in an emergency
