Im begining to think there's a resemblance with me & washin machines,
and Omega's & sensors :-/
In less than 5 years . . . well lets just say we bought a new one in Dec 06. (no4)
Got a nice washer dryer in the garage that needs a part.... (so i always have a spare washer)
And Mick noticed tonight its making a funny noise (its not 3 months old yet :-[ )
I blame the water.
I admit i like washing & i take the clothes off mick, just so i have some!!
does anyone else have a problem with washin machines ?????
Im thinking am a Jinx :-?

I have a washing machine, I call her Mum :D
-
We got a new washing machine a couple of months ago, and had an electrician (who knew nothing about washing machines…) install it for us. It made horrific noises from day 1, on closer examination it turned-out that he never removed the three bolts locking the drum in transit, and they sheered inside…
I called up the supplier, told them the truth, but also pointed out that there was nothing on the back of the machines to indicate that these bolts needed to be removed (though it did say so in the instructions leaflet).
My point was that something as important as this should be clearly labelled in bright colour on the back panel e.g. REMOVE BEFORE OPEARTING MACHINE etc. I must say they were very good about it and supplied a new machine straightaway, this time I took the bolts off myself…

i have a problem with washing machines and tumble driers and cookers and fridges and microwaves and freezers and dishwashers every day, but its my job !!
-
I have a problem with any by the hotpoint chain!
Since getting a miele, no problems :)
bit dear mind, but did get it with a 10 year parts and labour guarantee included, so not bad when you consider no bills for 10 years!
-
Washing machines, Dishwashers, Cookers, they've all had little problems in the last 3 months.... >:(
-
I have a problem with my wife and daughter using the washing machine. They cram and I mean CRAM everything into it and wonder why it makes such a noise and chases them around the kitchen when they turn it on. They cannot get there heads around a 10lb load if theres space in the drum they will fill it ::)
-
Well this morning im washing. . . got bedding in & it seems quieter :-/
Am wondering if there is a 5p piece or summit in it.
(strange tho as i rummage pockets now, since i washed micks wallet ::) )
Its not so bad now.
Im gonna hunt on eBay for the big plastic bit i need for me one in the garage,
just encase!!

Underwires from bras is another favorite to get between the inner and outer drums and make a noise ;)

Yeah, have pulled a fair of few them out ::)
Washing machines knack slingers!!

We have a Dyson and it ate two of my socks (different colours >:()
The engineer fished them out FOC and recommended a net bag

Technician please........Very few will have any form of engineering qualification....
Not surprised the Dyson ate socks.....counter-rotating drum assemblies never did look like a good engineering solution without getting the odd bit of clothing damage....!!!
Bra under wire would be my bet......try looking through the holes in the drum witha torch to see if anything is stuck.....
-
Bra's are in tact, no wires missing.
Checking stuff for missing buttons.
It seems to be a bit quieter.
Deffo gonna get a net thing tho, as ive notced a few odd sock when ive been puttin them
away in micks drawers, but they are alkl the same colour/kind, so he wont notice ::)

I did A Level Engineering Design, does that count ::)
I'm surprised anything made by Dyson has lasted long enough to damage anything...

tina it may be something rattling around in the pump they can make a similar sound sometimes. if its a customer serviceable filter check it out, give it a clean and see whats in there.
sometimes a screw, pin, lolly stick etc can stop the pump or make it noisy.

Hmm this is funny - firstly I like Sony stuff and you don't now the same with Dysons.
Is it time to change from Omegas? ;D

Alas, I am unfortunate enough to a Dyson hoover. It works OK-ish, but is unreliable, and plastic always breaking... ...its a reasonable design poorly implemented, and I think anyone who has owned an overpriced Dyson for more than a couple of years will agree?
-

Well it's either one or the other... ;D

Dyson hoover, not Dyson Hoover ;). Whatever, a Dyson sucky thing (when it was new, now just a Dyson thing)...
-
You mean a Dyson Vaccum...that thing with the great marketing.....and not so good operation....
It always makes me chuckle when people say.....look how much its picked up.....yes granted but, when was the last time you had a hoover where you could see what you had vaccumed up?
The electrolux one is better by the way.....

I think why new Dyson owners (me included) think/thought their machines are/were so good is because we had the pull along type vacuum before. Uprights are better due to carpet beaters than pure suction of pull along types, and probably more noticable to pet owners.

Dysons are good but have their flaws
Power heads clog easily and need a strip and rebuild every couple of months.
Cyclones clog up and are difficult to clean or newer cleaners
Washing machine washes well - present for Sue from her mum :P
-
In a TV program about Dyson, it turned-out that Dyson actually went to Hoover with his invention after patenting it but they dismissed it as ‘it will never work’. A Hoover spokesman on the program still dismissed Dyson saying that the vacuum cleaners with the bag are better, but when asked by the researcher if they don’t regret turning Dyson away, the Hoover guy seemed thoughtful and then admitted that they should have bought the patent and shelved it…
-
I think the dyson vac is great.
Had the DC01 for a good few years then a bust the wheel.
Got the ball one DC15 animal & brings car mats n boot liners up a treat ::)
Not noticed the washer making a noise, had my head in total vauxhall mag ::)

Glad the Dyson works well for you :)
Hose has gone on ours. Do I spend £15 - £20 for new hose, or £39 for a new bagless cyclone upright vac from tesco? The mains lead has been repaired yet again as well...
-
I'd say buy a hose for the dyson.
But mick just says am a snob n go for names, ;D but thats a bloke thing opinion

My washing machines sat on the couch playin with her laptop ;D

How long would it be before the next part breaks.
Its on its second motor, 3rd host, 2nd lead, 2nd clear bucket, 2nd accessory/tool set.....

Men from Bolton get into trouble when they say things like that - no paired socks for you from now on......

Buy another dyson, the wheels aint fell off yet. Proves they are good
You know it makes sense, and it picks up all them awful dust mites,

Thats a polite answer :-X

Bra's are in tact, no wires missing.
You checked Mick's ones as well :P
yeah me bra's are fine and the chicken fillet padding was lovely in the curry :-* BUT.....
have you heard apple are releasing an iBreast??????
apparantly its an implant that you can bluetooth music to costs about £500...........
The reason is that women are complaining that men are always lookin at their breasts and not listening to them ;D ;D ;D ;D
