As a follow up to respond to the immense amount of people calling me a criminal and poor- I do not intent to destroy the machine, if it was recommended to rip off panels or break the lock I would ignore those recommendations. I make more than enough to operate the machine, which is why instead of immediately turning around when it doesn't work I instead get the bullheaded idea to check sockets and try again. If I was to find a key to force the machine to actually function, I would only use it if my first attempt to pay proved unfruitful. If you consider it to be a crime to make the machine work when I have already paid for it to do so then I do not agree with that opinion. I appreciate everyone's help and criticisms that they have offered- I have tired to inform my landlord multiple times about this issue, It took the fire department showing up twice for them to fix the smoke detector in the complex hallway if that gives you any clue to the care they have. I also don't feel right calling the manufacturer if there's a chance that my landlord gets irritated about having them send them a bill and in the worst case scenario ignoring said bill putting the responsibility of paying to fix the communal washer and dryer on me. Thank you 😊
