Got a Zanussi zwd1472w how do I get a stuck screw out?
Unfortumately its not as simple as a screw floating around in the drums, it's a screw thats gone down the front and the head is too big to pass threw the drums its not magnetic so can't get it out that way. We've tried alsorts an got nowhere.
Had the local enginer out an he said it's either bend the drum back then bend back into place :-0 I kindly declined an he said the only other option is for them to take it to the workshop split open an then reseal costing a decent amount I should guess, he's going to get back to me with a price.
Was wondering if anybody knew of anything that might cost me a little less please.
A handy little tip for you all double sided sticky tape was how we got it out in the end. We stuck it onto 2 forks an got the screw stuck them an out it came.
We had done the liftin it onto chairs btw it didn't get any luck out of it.

try getting long nose pliers,and a wooden spatula,hold screw head with pliers as you lever the drum lip with the spatula,there should be some give in the drum,

get 2 well padded chairs.Get 2 strong bodies and pick the machine up.lay the machine on the chairs with the door face down between the 2 chairs.now force the drum around and hope the screw or whatever falls out from between the door gasket and drum.this has saved me a few strip downs now!.Just be careful as you don't want water tipping in to the electronics whilst doing this.The only other way is as suggested already
