Our washing machine has stopped working, no idea why yet. It had stopped at the end of the cycle, fuse in the plug had blown. Replaced fuse, but other than the power light coming on nothing happens – motor, pump, valve solenoids, none do anything. Kinda busy with other things right now, and don’t want to waste a morning fiddling with it. I don’t think calling out someone to look at it is worth it, given then likely cost of that.
It was a cheap Indesit, bought about 1996 as we needed one when we moved house, and it was what they had in a local shop. It’s worked pretty faultlessly all this time. Maybe it’s just time to pension it off.
So been avoiding other tasks by looking up machines on the web. God there are so many useless sites on the web. Just presenting? listings of machines is useless, I need some way of filtering for features rather than peruse the listing for each machine to identify those I’m interested in (no I don’t need a zillion programs, but somethings, like larger wash capacity, higher spin speeds etc. would be useful for us).
And I want to know about delivery, since I don’t want to be waiting 3 weeks or whatever for a new machine, so vague ’8-15 days isn’t helpful’. I suspect the problem is? lot of places don’t hold stock, they order it from the manufacturers once you order it, so? they don’t know for sure what the timescale is. Some however do let me lookup the delivery dates before ordering, which is very sensible.
Of course looking at machines gets more confusing given all the multiple brands aimed at different market segments when they are all owned by the same comapny and made in the same factory….
Sigh……
Now, I feel much better
