Dear Hotpoint
Dec. 28th, 2009 08:39 amDear Hotpoint,
Whilst my mum's washer managed to last from 1978 until 2008 (and then only died after being submerged in 3 foot of river water) it has come to my attention that the WD series washer/drier I bought having moved into the house in 2007 has become ever more unreliable, and today has decided that switching on is beyond it's pathetic capacities.
I'll grant that it has, for it's entire life, been the most useless washing machine I've ever encountered, growing mould in the detergent drawer, producing 'dried' items that were almost as wet as not using the drier function, periodically opting to illuminate all it's little lights instead of drying at all, and when it did deign to do any drying turning my uniforms into trousers with more pleats than my school uniform skirt. But if, as it appears to be, it's stone cold dead after 3 years do you think I'm likely to buy, or recommend, your brand to anyone ever again?
When a repair engineer goes "Oh, one of those" (not that I'd asked him to fix it, he's a friend); you can probably assume that it's not a good start.
Anyhow, I'll try powercycling it later (difficult, because the switch is behind it, and moving it out involves unplumbing it). Perhaps then it'll be persuaded to work a while longer.
Yours with No Love.
Kate.
