Washing machine help!

Recommended Posts

Happy weekend!


Our washing machine is tripping fuse box, it is insured but engineers cannot come out until Wednesday and at the start of christmas holidays with 3 children this is not ideal!


Can our washing machine be saved or do I need to add to my list to santa?!


Any help/recommendations appreciated.

Have had this happen to me, it is likely to be the heater that is tripping the fuse box as it is turned on after about 8mins, I suspect by a relay to heat the water. The heater becomes corroded over time through the gunk in hard water and conducts to earth, tripping the fuse box. On my machine the heater required replacement, once done it worked fine. Generally the engineer needs to remove the top and front of the machine to access the heater that in my case was under the drum. About an hours work for an engineer. Good luck. As it is insured should not cost you anything.

Thank you Jazzer-thats very helpful, I have an idea of what to expect when engineer comes now today.

    • Hello.  A parcel for someone at 64B Blenheim Grove has been dumped at my address.  If anyone from 64B is in this forum, please get in touch!
    • CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too 
    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
