If it is out of warranty buy a new one for less than the cost of getting it mended ~ you know it makes sense. Under £200 in Currys sale. Cost you that to get a man out by the time you've paid Labour + Call Out Fee + Parts (which he will have to order etc) Currys deliver and install for £20.

Completely agree . It is only 3 years old but a new one it might have to be. Have just had to bail out all the water from the drum and try and wring out all the excess water etc. Would be the time I'm bloody washing duvet covers - I'm soaked  cry:

As for any perks Nick - I might throw in a few biscuits (posh ones of course  lol:)

You could charge for however long it takes to fix as the alternative this weekend is the launderette  scared2:

However it may be more cost effective to buy a new one as I can't afford air fares as well - plus which if you don't finish the decorating LL will not be happy.

Oh...  evil:

I was thinking of £50 per hour time + materials + tea + travel expenses...

It would probably cost you more in tea than travel tho...  whistle:

Serious head in place

Lil Bruvver has just moved house and wanted a new washing machine. I have used this company recently to buy a new Dishwasher and so he used them too. It is all internet based. Delivery is included in the price quoted, all items advertised are in stock and they let you chose a delivery day two or four days hence. Prices also include VAT so what you see is what you pay.
Cannot fault their service. Both my Dishwasher and Bruvvers Washing Machine and Gas Cooker arrived exactly on the day promised. Fully guaranteed etc.
I would recommend them as a company to deal with
Cheaper than Currys, Argos or Comet (we checked) on like for like items.
The link takes you straight to washing machines.

Those are good prices!  The price of mine was about their's before discount but a local company did deliver it, fit it and take away the old one.

In fact they're not too far north of you Miss D.  rubschin:

123 will take away your old machine, if you have disconnected it, but as they use a courier service they do not install but then any idiot can install a washing machine to the connections of the old one ~ no plumbing skills needed.
See "Other services you may wish to use" on their payments/order page or read the customer services pages.

Have you cleaned out the filter and checked the outlet hose for blockages (bra clips?)?

It is cheaper than a new machine.

If you think it hasn't got a filter then that will be your problem, because it has... somewhere.
