Washing Machine Repair

[Nancy]

Not entirely related to running or athletics, my washing machine is very important to me nonetheless. Unfortunately, I fear I have injured it - it no longer spins.

Does anyone know of a washing machine engineer in the Macclesfield area of good repute?

[Colin Ardron]

If you haven't sorted it by now, I use Royles of Park Lane but Ialso have a brand new washing machine (still in packaging) that I no longer have use for. If interested contact me off forum. After you have called engineer out and done repairs it could be a cheaper option!

Royles are pretty good,alternatively try the little shop opposite the fishmongers.Meanwhile can anyone lend the Bunyans a washboard & mangle?

On the subject of white goods I need a new cooker as the hamster escaped and destroyed mine. How are you fixed Col?

I have to agree that washing machines have a major importance in life, perhaps if we had more kit or less mud/ sweat this would not be such an issue
we've used Chris rose he has a vaccum cleaner stall in the market + does washing machines as well. Tel 01625 424778
Our (now sadly deceased )15 yr old machine had a similar prob which was easily repaired with new spin brushes. Hope yours is also repairable

Thank you, Brian, for recovering this thread from the bottom of the pile, as it gives me an chance to report on the outcome:

I contacted the little shop across from the fishmongers. They sent a man round. The washing machine needed more than brushes, alas, and it was not worth repairing. So the man went away and returned with a new washing machine and installed it.

This washing machine did spin, but it also hopped around! The man came back again, and tried to anchor it better. The machine still hopped around.

Finally, the man came back with a different washing machine, which does spin but doesn't hop. Result: happy me! (Though I do get a bit twitchy when the spin cycle starts.)

How did the hamster destroy the cooker?

Definitely intrigued Brian. What a wonderfully diverse world this forum is.
