bought the washing machine about 3 yrs ago, well pleased with it, the council sent some workers in to fit a kitchen. pulled and manhandled the washing machine about. fitted the kitchen (my butcher could have done a better job), put the w.machine back. since then, we get a loud alarm going off when the wash has finished, machine works perfectly. but this flippin alarm is driving us mad, the missus wont go shopping and leave it, and she has to get up to physically switch the machine off. alarm last 5 or 6 minutes, we have been putting up with it, but wonder if any of you appliance experts know of a secret button to turn it off, hope you do as it will be part of her christmas present... along wiv the new scrubbing brush i have bought her, should be a real exciting xmas eh lads!!!!
