    Easy. If Miele then fix if not and cost to fix is > £50 then buy a Miele.
    Do a DIY check first though. It might be just a blocked pipe or something. Look in your instruction book or one on the web.

      Our Zannussi died recently ( after 8 years) and I plumped for a LG - I can wash a king size duvet in it so I'm happy. Also it has coloured flashing lights and plays a tune when its finished - Mr P thinks Its great and the kittens like to watch the washing going round in it
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        Sounds like ours - what is good about it is it has a pipe which allows you to drain it without flooding everywhere.
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

          Buy as expensive a Miele as you can to get the build quality. Shop around on the web, we got a machine that was ~£1000 in Currys/Comet etc.. For £750 delivered on the t'interweb and it is built like the Bismarck!

            Our middle one (3 y/o) loves to stick her head in the drum and shout "Hello can you hear me, I am on the moon!" and other random tulip

              Not keen on that then - full of holes, rusting at the bottom of the sea and full of dead Germans. I'll stick with my LG one.

                The most expensive washing machine in the world is the one that breaks down with no service cover the day before an interview for a big money contract when you need to wash your shirts. Thus, the sartorially educated contractor must purchase a Miele.

                    I doubt you'll get a repairman to come to your house and open the door of a washing machine for much less than 100.

                      Surely it's much easier to make sure that you have enough shirts so that there's always a clean one available
