how do I open the door of my washine machine when the lock appears to be br?

isolate power, remove lid (2 screws at the back, then using the palm of your hand strike the front of the lid backwards) Next locate the door latch pin (metal peg) where it comes through the lock and using a long screwdriver push the latch pin towards the door seal whilst pulling the door open, Replace door handle, job done.
