I bought this in March 2010 and expect it to last longer than two years so I'm fuming!
A few weeks ago I put it on a wash program and left it. After a long time I noticed a chugging noise and when I looked, all the door lights had gone out and the pump was chugging non stop. I switched off and opened the door but no change. None of the door buttons were responding. I had to unplug it to get it to stop. I called a local repair man and he came about 3 days later. When he plugged the machine in, it was working perfectly! He used a little machine to check it and told me that there was no fault. I paid him £30 for the call out.
Yesterday the same thing happened after just 10 minutes into the program. After reading various bits on the internet, we tilted the machine backwards and dried out all the water that usually collects under the filters. It worked again briefly but went back to chugging after just a couple of minutes. This morning I shook it and it seems to be OK again though I haven't yet tried to run a program.
Please, does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it? My husband just wants to buy a new one but it's only just over 2 years old! Surely this cannot be right?
I just tried it and it started OK, filled with water for a minute then the lights all went out and the water emptied out. The pump remained on until I pulled the plug. HELP!!!!!
