Unbeleivable, well not really, it ALWAYS happens. Just decided to contact payplan re debts and found out about this site- starting to feel warm and cosy cos everyone is so supportive then the washing machine dies just when I have a huge pile of washing! Live in the sticks so no launderette. No spare cash, no-one to borrow off so decision time.
second hand:rolleyes:
catalogue:mad:
hand wash and drip dry in the rain:eek:

Hi there, do you have a local freecycle? you may be lucky to find one on there.

Tried that, it is making a loud clonking noise when it spins and also fuses all the lights in the house.

morning loneranger,

I second Lynz, my washing machine packed up a few days ago, turns out that I had a blocked filter (who knew it even had a filter?!?) due to the amount of hair clogged in it (gross!). Have a read through the instruction manual, they usually have a troubleshooting section. It may even be cheaper to get a repair man out, do you have any friends/ family that could do it or recommend someone?

lynzpower

hmm avoid then

yeah try freecycle - you might end up with one

ANd dont forget to sell your old one on ebay for parts

Hi
Have you joined your local Freecycle group? If youve never heard of it, its a group where people list their unwanted items, all you have to do is collect them, it is all free! The idea is to keep stuff out of landfill sites. On my local group, I have often seen washing machines on there. WOrth a look? You can also list wanted items too, so worth a shot, especially if someone is thinking of getting rid of something but hasnt got round to doing anything about it yet!

wow, freecycle, completely new to me! thanks folks, there is one near to me, this site is the best thing thats happened to me.

Freecyclers is a website, you post in your area wants or things you can give away free.

if you google it you will find it as im not sure if i can post a link on here

Hope that helps

Got to say a huge thank you to all of the above responders, unbelievable!!!! Replacement washing machine in place and spinning (did the plumbing and electricals myself and most of the lifting!) back is killing me but it was worth it.
