I’m trying to help a woman on her own whose washing machine has just broken down. I’m not up to repairing one of them, so put her in touch with a local appliance repair specialist. Anyway, long sorry short, he says the electronics are knackered, and she’ll have to get a new one we think. They don’t sell appliances, to he’s not trying to put one over on her.
Trouble is, the existing one is one of those built-in ones, which gives rise to two problems:
1. They can’t figure out how to get the kick board (or whatever you call it) off at the bottom – he pulled it quite hard, but no joy. It has LEDs under lights in it, if that’s relevant. I thought these things were on kind of spring clips which just snap in and out, but what do I know…
2. Are the fittings for the wooden front universal, ie can be fitted to any machine, or is it complicated? I’m fairly competent at DIY (except plumbing), but have never tried to do this before…
Just want to help her out a little if I can – thanks everybody.
