I have a 29 year old Indesit dishwasher that's still going strong!  :y

A few years ago it nearly died when I switched it on but got a loud buzzing noise, so I pulled it out, turned it on it's side and gave the motor a good thump with a lump of 4x2 and it's been fine since!  :)

That taught it a lesson it clearly hasnt forgotten!

Do you thrash your cars with a shrub too when a dashboard light comes on or they fail to start!

We bought a tumble dryer in 1987 when we moved to Norfolk & it's still fully functional.

Were you really surprised by the fact that it would be a totally sealed unit? As you say , it's criminal that a several hundred pound appliance has to be scrapped because of the fact that a twenty pound  set of bearings can't be accessed. On a side note, has that proviso that appliances must be repairable gone now because of Brexit? Or was it ever really on the cards?  :-\
   its a probability that you may come across one on ebay

Christ! All for the sake of a bearing that costs a few quid!

Quite. It's at the stage of nothing to lose. I am going to have a go at cutting the bastid apart and re-sealing it! Nothing to lose other than a couple of hours. I'm sure I can get bearings from a generic supplier  :-X

Thought I was going to have to dismantle ours today, as it appeared to be leaking water from underneath last night when in use.
Then Swmbo confessed she had spilt quiet a lot of water onto the worktop ,which may have run down the side or back of the machine and reappeared from underneath.  ::) ;D
Ran it again this morning and no leakage, so all good.  :)
