    Great video. The string trick worked a treat. Found it very easy to do and popped open almost straight away. The handle is broken hence why it wasn't opening. Not sure why the emergency release didn't work though given the issue. Still I was able to get my laundry out and the replacement handle is on it's way. Thank you.
