The child had curled up her legs and sat down inside it, and was unable to move.
Firefighters had to be called to help her out after her mother realised that her daughter was trapped.
They arrived at the scene and were forced to dismantle the household appliance so that they could rescue her, as reported by Need To Know.
According to local press, they used a blanket to cover and protect the young girl’s upper body during the rescue operation.
Firefighters were able to use a screwdriver and hydraulic scissors to cut away parts of the washing machine.
Luckily, their efforts were successful and she was pulled out of the machine and did not suffer any injuries.
After climbing inside quickly after she bickered with her mother, she became stuck within seconds.
She was rescued on the same day she became trapped, on 30 March.
The incident occurred at a home in Kunshan, near Shanghai, China.
