To unlock a washing machine, first ensure the cycle has completed. If the door remains locked, unplug the machine for 5-10 minutes to reset it. For front-load washers, there’s often a manual release near the door or behind a small hatch at the front bottom panel. Consult your user manual, as it typically provides specific instructions for your model. If issues persist, it may be a fault with the lock mechanism; contact customer support for further assistance.
