My washer stopped working a couple of weeks after the warranty ended (of course).
(now I DO think thats unreasonable!)
It just wouldn't switch 'on' - so I checked the fuse in the plug.
Hubby checked a fuse in the machine (don't ask me where THAT was),
And I checked the socket on the wall by plugging a hairdryer in it.
So I rang my friendly electrician who said he was no longer coming out to make visits, although he said with that particular model it was usually just a little diode (?) on the motherboard (?) and easily fixed.
So I'm washing by hand.
And there's the rub(!) Wringing out the clothes! My poor 80 year old hands just can't cope with wringing out the wet washing - and no mangle in sight.
I remember my mother during the war, boiling and possing in a tub and using a hand cranked wringer that almost ironed the sheets and towels whilst squeezing the water out. I used to find it magical.
Any hints?
