Please read the manual
« on: 12 February 2015, 13:59:53 »
Bought a new washing machine last week, it replaced an old one so was just a case of connecting the water & drain. SWMBO used it today for the first time since I installed it on Monday. It got almost through its cycle & started to dance around the garage!  :o :o As it got to full spin I decided that switching it off at the mains would be the best policy!
Having then Please read the manual I discovered I should have removed four screws/bolts that were fitted for transit!  ::)  ::)  ::)

Personally, I am a bit gobsmacked. I have always viewed Andy as a man of the world, in respect of his knowledge on here.
I thought everyone knew that these appliances come with travel protectors fitted :y ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Correct .... I'll be too old & frail by the time this washer fails to be able to lift/move another. I'l pay someone delivery & installation next time!  ;D
