BB, why would the machine need to wired into the wall? It should be a straightforward supply to the machine so could be fitted with a plug.

If your only connection point is a fused box in the wall its only a case of taking the front off and connecting ( with the power off! ). Yes I know that Regs say you are supposed to fork out for a Qualified Electrician, but

A bit late in the day now BB has bought one :T but my last washer was 'hard wired' into the wall. When my new one was delivered with a plug on it hard wiring it into the wall invalidates the warranty. So I had to have a plug put into my wall to plug the washing machine in....just so any peeps are aware..

BB - I've had my beko washer 4 years now - it's fab....my beko freezer laster 12 years which was pretty good going.

I had a washer dryer once......never again, the dryer part over heated, caused the wiring to catch fire....I was just on my way out the door when I saw the smoke....it melted the worksurface...that was quite impressive.

I bought a Hotpoint..........I was going to go for a Bosch washing machine but went for the Hotpoint washer dryer. It is a 1600 spin they had on offer (can you hear the seeds of justification here?!) and whilst some seem to hate Hotpoint, some love them.

I have had a Philco and a Candy washer dryer in the past - the Philco was appalling...........really appalling........the only thing I've ever bought extended warranty on (young and naive :rolleyes: ) but bizarrely after a new motor, motor brushes, new door, door seal, 3 new valves, 2 new pumps plus all the labour time over 3 years (and that's what I can remember!) it turned out to be a good choice after all!

Right, going to rescue the handwashing in the sink - oh, the glamour of it all!!

Cos it smelt vile and something had squidged in the bottom....well I say squidged, I mean liquified.....there was maggots and all sorts.

Blugh can still smell it.

More than you know Pepe...the gorillas that delivered (and were supposed to install it for me) where like 'not in my job description' 'elf and safety'. Luckily I had a man round doing some painting and he did it for me.

I have had the machine a year and I have just had my yearly unblocking of the pump (with coins, hairgrips and golf tees) and the man said 'did your machine make a lot of noise?' 'Yes' says I...

thats cos they have left the clamps on the drum that stops it moving whilst in transit.....d*ckheads:cool:
