Ever try it? You can't. The machine won't let you... Yeah I did try to open it when I lived in Europe and had a front loading machine.
Also do you have a source of this or is it just idle speculation?
- JonnieCache 13y agoObviously you can't open it. The three year old me likely would have had a bloody good go at it though, if he wasn't pacified by the spinning clothes through the window. My source for the first bit is a Hans Rolsing ted talk about washing machines, as well as my own grandmother.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoMore idle speculation, but presumably the very first models weren't advanced enough to have an auto-locking mechanism. Since the only difference (that I can think of) between top- and front-loading models is the safe/disastrous result when opening mid-cycle, I can only imagine it has seomthing to do with that.
