It does have a pivot release, though I don't recall where. The red bar is an emergency release in case hand or hair into wringers. Thankful the one on mine was both a push and a pull when I slapped at it when my hand in the wringers to palm, -17* in enclosed porch for laundry room. Would not mind having another.

She can not tell from the picture. Maybe a close up could help. Many loads of wash went through those old machines...there was 6 of us kids.

I even have a 'flattened' finger from where it got caught in the rollers when I was really little. Fortunately it wasn't my whole hand! It seems to me on the one she had the roller mechanism section lifted up and then turned to the side so it was easier to load/unload clothes. Yours may not be the same though....or perhaps it's seized up. Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.com
