to get inside

Kinda of a silly question but here it goes…
I was cleaning the inside of a washer that was left with the home we bought(it was gross inside!) and as I was cleaning the rim of the tub the sponge fell into the the other side of the tub(inside the machine).
I’m pretty sure I should get it out of there so how can I get at it??

Hoping for an easy fix cuz I don’t want to call a repair guy for this:o .

Thanks, Jean

Actually 90 percent of those whirlpools have no bottoms, so all you have to do is pull the washer away from the wall, and then lean it back, and it will be on the floor. Tom http://www.applianceeducator.com

Thanks for the quick response!!
Now I hope the washer really works when it’s put to the test!! It was really nasty inside before I cleaned it, would suprise me if it wouldn’t work,LOL

Thanks again!!
