  • Well done.
    Why not try a light wash of a couple of towels, and put some cloths under door just incase, and be ready to hit stop if water starts gushing out.
    If that happens then it's on to plan b, whatever that might be.
    Good luck.

    Thanks everyone - really appreciate your help, especially the how to videos!

    I can confirm I got there in the end, had to walk away a good few times out of sheer frustration but I was determined.  

    Feeling quite proud of myself that I managed it, had a new kitchen floor laid a couple of weeks ago and everything seems to be going wrong in the kitchen now so it was a relief to be able to fix it.

    I suppose the proof will come when I next put on a wash so fingers crossed!
    Well done. 
    Have confidence in your abilities - set it for a looong wash, get it going, and go out for a walk...

    cough
