Washin Machines ?????

[Tina]

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

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 !!

[Jimbob]

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

[Tina]

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

[Tina]

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.....

[Tina]

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
