Ariston AWD12 door is shut locked and cannot open

The handle that opens the machine door is broken, the door firmly shut with washing inside. I can see there maybe a way to tip machine and go up inside (from base of washing machine), however, im not sure how to release catch from inside. I can see the spare handle parts are for order, but how can i unlock / unload and open the door in order to replace the broken handle?

    Hi charliecat, to open a locked dishwasher, you simply need to use your finger as the handle mechanism. You should be able to fish around in the handle cavity and find the button which, when pushed, unlocks the dishwasher. Press it down, and the washer should pop open.
