When I first moved into my apartment I was informed that I had to open my washer with a chopstick. Seems easy enough, right? I could barely eat with chopsticks when I came here, but why not use it on household appliances.
Last Thursday night I shoved a bunch of clothes into the washer not thinking these little machines probably don't hold much. Before it started the spin cycle, it stopped and had "SE" flashing, which I think means "error"? Clothes still soapy and wet I tried to run the cycle again. It stopped on "SE" again so I thought there must be too many clothes, I'll just take half out. WELL, after trying for four days to pry the door open with a chopstick and even trying to rip the door off, I finally realized it locks shut in the middle of a cycle. (Special thanks to Google and the people who put English directions up of Korean washers).
With my amazing translating skills I set the cycle to spin and drain only and the washer finally cooperates and does just that. It sings a little ding a ling song and flashes "end" so I tried my chopstick prying one more time. It opens, I fall backwards, yahtzee! My wet clothes are free, smelly, and ready to be washed multiple more times to be normal again.
