Switch off at the main switch. Pull the washer out so you can get at the drain hose. Unhook the drain hose and gently lower it towards a bucket and water from the machine will start to syphon out.
When you have completely emptied the machine, set the machine controls to Off.
Put the hose back in its drain and push the machine back into place.
Switch the power back on. The door interlock should allow you to get your clothes out and if your lucky, the programmer should reset itself.
