Always happens in three I believe so I’ll just have to wait anxiously for the third instalment won’t I? Last week our washing machine gave up the ghost (I received a phone call from Ina letting me know that the display of the washing machine was giving an error code and had made the mains power from the bathroom switch off) and I probably gave Ina the wrong advice.
I said to just switch the power back on and press the pause button on the machine to get it going again. Hmmm, great advice huh, I guess I didn’t really think that one through so well. I mean, if the mains power goes out in the bathroom that tends to signify that there is something shorting inside the machine causing the problem, which tends to suggest that the washing machine was having electrical issues. Therefore just trying to force it to go back on would most likely only make the problem worse. And yes……..it did. Our washing machine is now dead with a new error code showing motor failure (and we all know how much motors are to replace in the damn things!) so it is time to buy a new one. Ouch! that is going to hurt the budget. Real pity too because it is or rather was a good washing machine made by Bauknecht.
The next thing to go wrong was my phone, I dropped it the other day, not too hard mind, and now the screen is intermittently deranged which makes it unusable during this time. Problem with that is that the time the sceen is functioning normally is gradually reducing, so, have to buy a new phone…….double ouch!!
So what next? Hard to say which electrical item will hit the dust next when there are so many in this house……..but I’ll keep you all informed.
