Buy a new one – get the economy going. Shinny new buttons and lights etc.
Not sure I’d bother with the dryer bit. Just hang the stuff up and they dry anyway is my feeling, or am I being too much of a ‘bloke’?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Well this poll has been far more useful than I expected. Thanks to all who voted.
I was leaning towards repair, but in the face of more than 80% saying otherwise I've changed my mind.
In the meantime I've discovered I can get a machine for £280 delivered that has a feature mine doesn't, sensor as opposed to timed drying.
When my plumber re-appears to complete work on my bathroom I will see if he has the time to do repair, I doubt he will charge me more than £30, but then I doubt he has the time as he should have finished the bathroom weeks ago. (He does all sort of jobs including electrical work for me, and he did comment in passing that he could look at the machine for me.)
(The £98 cost of repair was the fixed-price quote by manufacturer's people.)
Assuming he doesn't have time, I'll order the new machine then.Last edited by IR35 Avoider; 29 July 2008, 16:47.Comment
