neither electrician or plumber you need the specialist0 -
Depends what's the matter with it. Can you fix it yourself?
Mine stopped working once (wouldn't drain or progress in cycle - kept jamming etc) - I googled the problem and got some tips including laying it on its side (go figure!) and it worked."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -
you say 'again'. could well be cheaper to buy one.
I got mine on eBay for £100. It was silver. If I'd have wanted a white one I could've got one for £50.
Reckoning whoever you get out will charge you that much at least0 -
Have a look on the website of the manufacturer...it usually points you to approved repair dealers...most of these now charge a fixed call out fee which sometimes also include the parts...from that you will probably be able to work out whether the cost of a repair is better value than a replacement.
You could also google domestic appliance repair in your area,that may show local tradesmen who could also repair your machine....although do check if you get charged by the hour or for the job...sometimes a fixed fee repair can work out a better option
The idea of googling the problem is also very good,it may be a simple thing to fix and end up not requiring any tradesmen!frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
