PS I detect you've been drinking would that be correct ??? if so then please take your clothes back out of the microwave

I think what Dave is trying to say is that it could be many different things causing the problem. Have you looked at the manual or tried doing a search online to find how to solve the problem.

Thanks for hearing my rage lol, I hate when things don't work, its an electrolux thing and has a c7 problem, now, cheaper to replace or get someone out?

Thanks ><

Just looked on google and it is a few possible things , one being a partial blockage , do you know how to check the filter ?? (normally take the plate off at the bottom and there will be a knob that you turn and pull out , sometimes you get all fluff and stuff in there , coins out of your pockets , watches , hairgrips (these are all things I've found in ours)
If you do it just remember to put a tray under it first to catch some of the water and take the hilter out a little bit at a time.
Symptoms would be just not completing cycle, not emptying , funny noises from the pump. Might save you a few quid.

As fars as getting someone out , I would say if its over 5 years old forget it unl;ess you have a friend that won't rob you , most times it wil cost at least 60 quid for them to have a look and then they tell you its something more expensive.

We always buy a new washing machine with a 5 year warranty and if it breaks after that , back out and buy a new one, in our house its never ever turned off.

Do you know the model number of the machine, is it a washer dryer ?

I take it this is no help at all:

Yes thats exactly it Kathy, but its not a tumble dryer but washing machine, cheaper to get it fixed for £100+ or new??

Xxx

Ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

In that case best check the link below. John Lewis are very good with their 5 year warrantees for about £170.00:

I hate it when things break espically appliances that are less than 5 years old

x that by 1000 and thats how I felt!!

Had a job fitting a laminate floor today in a utility room and kitchen. Got to the job and not only was everything still in the rooms but they thought it would be a good idea to start a wash load 2 mins before I turned up.
Then he said could I not move the washing machine, 6ft fridge, 6ft freezer, tumble dryer etc on my own. I told him if I move it, it will be going in Janey's flat. Sorry he moved it pretty quick

The thought was there

After all that, the washing machine is knackered and I have to buy a new one, sooooooooooooooooooooooo angry

not good

2 months this has taken and nearly £200 now down the pan! Another £270 to get a new one, p1ssed off is an understatment.

you should ask for your money back

I wish! So mad, I could have had a new machine 2 months ago and not had to use other peoples and saved myself £200, I have a new one ordered and it should be here Friday, I won' hold my breath though. Sorry its rather trivial to Xena but I am so angry

it's a pain in the back side! the bloke should of knew if it was fixable

He was alright, replaced the elements that where showing the problem, and he advise to get a new one as it appears its the electrics which can cost over £400 to fix, he said he would do it if I had insurance, but I don't so cheaper to get a new one, he also advised on which one as it is intergrated they cost £200+ more than standing ones but there is a Beko that is as deep so will still fit and the door can go over.

Bye bye savings

awwww ><

Going for a walk

Sorry Janey I thought the washing machine saga was well and truly over but it seems NOT

That is wrong that they can charge your for replacing parts on a machine when other parts were going to give up the ghost in the short term as well. Surely they could see the potential risk.........

Once upon a time machines were "built to last" now they only seem to be built to last (7-10yrs before replacement)

So sorry to hear this Janey. Your service people should get a kick up the butt. Surely they could have advised you to replace it rather than taking your money in the first place. Damn cowboys!

Thanks guy, its ok I'm over it now, nothing like a staffy walk and play to cheer you up! New one here Friday and sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes Xx

Its only 3 years old Lee! But I'm not going there!!

Ermmmm Did you take out the insurance on the new one though Janey

No Kathy, it only cost £170 for the machine, so it will be cheaper to buy a new one in 3 years time! No point insuring things imo now, they always break and they always find a way around it, and tbh over 3 years of insurance I may as well get a new one, which is what I wish I did to start with.

Ahhhh what a bummer. At least you have a new one coming soon.

And I completely agree, nothing like a staffy walk to cheer you up! ><

Yeah I must agree really it is cheaper to replace them now rather than take out the insurance tbh. I had to get a new one a couple of years ago, the original one was an indesit which only lasted about 3 years. I replaced that with a Candy which was a bit more expensive but, touch wood, so far so good.

It's only been a couple of years though Kathy - it could go at any time ........................

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont let it here you say that

stop jinxing things Shon, go some reading

Fine! I can take a hint! I know when I'm not wanted! I'm off!














To another section of the forum

we always take the insurance on washing machines and Fridges etc as we always wear them out , this machine now has been the best with only 4 call outs in 3 years , insurance gone now so if it fails unless it's the fuse in the plug we will just get a new one , it costs 60 quid or so just to get someone to turn out and have a look so jus not worth the effort

So, Janey.



















I get the impression you're not altogether happy.
