I'm near Belfast, so have thought about flogging it to the recyclers - and they'll probably sell me the same one back for £300. Thinking about it, my mum used to do two washes a day in that machine, until I grabbed it when she got a built-in one when she had a massive kitchen put in.
17 years old is a hell of an age to go with NO servicing, no belts
replaced, bushes, anything. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and work with 5 Electrical Engineers - brought in the motor and the consensus is that it is fried.
I've been looking at laundrette machines, huge things (but it's in the garage so size, for once, does not matter
), and a recon commercial Miele seems to go for about £400 - that way I could wash all my clothes at once!
My old washer was a hotpoint - the spider at the back of the drum broke one night and it put holes in all my clothes,
but this one is just dead as a dead thing.
