 Evening guys
                     Right, bit of a long shot but can any body give me some advice, misses just broken the door latch on the bloody washing machine, ok no water inside and door is closed shut unable to open, latch looks impossible to get to without breaking the door or turning the bloody thing over and taking it to bits but I don't think it will go back the same way, you know some bolts left sort of thing .... HELP!

Try setting it on a spin cycle or a rinse cycle to see if it will reset keep an eye on it though for any leaks from the door seal

 Hi mate
            Thanks for coming back, yeah  no problem with the washing side just cannot get the bloody door open afterwards, the lever is consealed to stop little fingers and it not attached, bloody plastic rubbish, it makes the sounds that its open but its not

Take the top off the machine, normally 4 pozi screws and look down the front should see the catch hole, screwdriver or similar poked in should release door.
if step 1 fails.
Step 2 hit wit no1 adjustment tool,then buy new machine

 Hi mate 
                  Yeah, bloody machine is encased at the top, will have to try from underneath, wish me luck, Im going in 
                     Thanks for your comments guys
                          all the best

Hotpoints normaly have some screws behind little plastic covers which allow the top panel to be removed.

From memory, remove the covers and screws and then the panel slides and can be lifted off

just use it as an excuse to buy a new machine.  chances are that the bearing will fail soon anyway. seems typical on shitepoint
