How do I remove the drum to my Ariston SuperCare AL1256T (Bra wire stuck!)?

Low-tech method, which requires manual dexterity and a lot of patience. Took me 30 mins on my Blomberg. Ask yourself how it got in, and why can't it come out the same way? Get a light or torch, length of 5amp fusewire, toothpick & tweezers. Using toothpick, locate bra-wire. Form a loop with the fusewire push the loop through holes in drum near end of bra-wire, use the 2 strands to manouevre the fusewire until it catches end of bra-wire. Then having secured it use toothpick and fusewire to move it so it is lying with it's curve in same direction as curve of drum. You should be able to get the end of the wire close to a hole in drum so that the end can poke through the hole. This is where you catch it with tweezers and pull enough through to grab with hand and withdraw from drum.
