Mend Zanussi Clothes Out Washing Machine

How can I get my clothes out of the washing machine?

My Zanussi (Nexus FL-1084, an older model, just a dial, no digital display) has gotten stuck mid-cycle. The water seems to have all drained, but the door lock won't release so I can't get my wet clothes out. Any suggestions?

FIRST MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS UNPLUGGED.
First the easy way, disconnect the drain hose from what ever it
is fitted to,holding it up, position the machine so you can lean it
back about 45 degrees. Lower the drain hose into a bowl and leave machine for about 5 mins. after this time put machine
upright and see if door opens. If not plan B.
Remove top. UNPLUGGED? Put hand down the inside front of the
machine where the door catch goes in, feel around and you should be able to slide a metal plate either left or right if this releases the door it means
you need a new door interlock.
