My girlfriend tried to do me a favor and wanted to wash an old pillow of mine full of microbeads. The pillow was not designed to be washed but she didn't know this. now the washing machine is full of these things!
I have scooped up as much as possible with a strainer, and I have used a steam cleaner to suck up as many loose beads as possible. when I went through a partial spin cycle, more beads came out!
How do I get my machine back in working order?

It is not difficult to remove the drum inside your machine, Most of them just pull off, or push & twist. Wash the drum off outside with a garden hose. Then vaccuum out the inside of the machine. use bottle brush to get under lip. That will clear the machine, but I don't know about the pump, etc.

Pillow With Microbeads

If they are a decent quality bed pillow and not made from foam, you should be able to wash them with no problem. Put only one pillow in at a time on gentle cycle with a small amount of detergent. Dry only one pillow at a time . Of course if it's a feather pillow, these cannot be washed.

I would try to get everything still inside your washer dried out and then use the hose on the vacuum cleaner to get all of the beads out.
