Through out the years,money has ended up in my washing machine baffle. is there anyway of removing them, without dismantling the whole washing machine?
Usually not but if you get a thin blade screw driver, in the center of the baffle gently pry up the edge and wedge it under creating a gap to get the coins out. But be carefully because most of the times you can't get replacement baffles !!

could be coins in the baffles, sometimes coins make it into your dryer, and they slide under the baffles, remove or open the top of your unit and you will see the screws that hold on each baffle, remove the screws and the baffle will come off inside the dryer with whatever is in there. then re-secure the baffles..
It might well be a coin! Coins and other items that fall from clothes pockets into the drum stay in the drum. They are too large to pass through the small drainage holes in the drum. But my granddaughter found a way! She opened the washing powder dispenser at the top of the machine and dropped three coins (that we know about) into the drawer and closed it. The water fill cycle then somehow swept the coins down into the drum. To get them out I had to dismantle the machine and remove the pump outlet assembly and poke a stiff wire into the drum and drag the coins out. The machine is a completely different make to your but I would assume a similar method would work. good luck
You will need the screws to hold them in and unfortunatly to do them you have to split the 2 drums apart unless you can see where the screws mount on the new baffles, but usually they screw in from the outer side of the inner drum. A lot of work for such a small part.
I just tried all manner of bending, pushing and prying the drum baffle. Can't get it to move. I'm thinking I need to break it to clean behind it then install a new drum baffle. At $49.35 plus tax and shipping I'll leave the coins there for now.
If it's a top loader and the pump is easily accessible, I would dismantle/have the pump dismantled and the objects removed. Othrewise they can cause future damage internally!
I take it that you mean that there is monetary coin or coins stuck between the Wash Bowl and the Spin Bowl. If the diameter of the coinage is greater than the Wash Bowl outlet, the coins will never find their way to the emptying pump of the machine, and will continue to rattle around inside. However any of the coins can enter the Wash Bowl outlet this could result in the water pump becoming jammed or damaged requiring replacement. I have solved this problem by removing the top of the machine (HOB) above the washbowl then completely removing the shroud over the Wash Bowl...then replacing the top of the machine firmly. By then turning the machine upside down, the coins will drop out and can be retrieved. Finish the job by returning the machine to the upright position.
If it has baffles for washing, check to see if you can lightly press the baffle to one side (press firm but don't snap it out) while rotating the drum by hand. I do this with my Whirlpool Duet and the coins eventually just slide out and into the drum where I can see them.
GO TO www.repairclinic.com IN THE BRANDS WINDOW CLICK ELECTROLUX THEN IN APPLIANCE TYPE CLICK WASHING MACHINE AND LOOK FOR PART 1154917 CLICK ON THAT PHOTO AND LOOK AT ADDITIONAL PICS.YOU WILL SEE THAT IT SNAPS INTO PLACE. FROM HERE I THINK YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT AND RETIEVE YOUR COIN. GOOD LUCK
remove the top panel and each fin has 2 5/16 screws holding them to the drum. turn the drum so the fin is on top and remove the screws then remove the coins
