If your washing machine is not spinning and the door won't open, it could be due to several issues. First, check if there’s a load imbalance or if any clothing is stuck in the door. Reset the machine by turning it off, waiting a few minutes, then turning it back on. If the door still doesn't open, you may need to use the manual release, which is usually located near the filter area. Persistent issues might indicate a faulty door lock or control board, requiring professional repair.
