Update on the Washing Machine

[megpie71]

The nice man from the washing machine repair firm found he had time enough after finishing his last job of Tuesday to come out and deal with our washing machine yesterday evening, about 4-ish. Which means we now have a working washing machine again. No idea why it wasn't working, but apparently unplugging all the leads inside the machine and plugging them all back in again seemed to do the trick, so I suspect what happened is it essentially shook something out of contact. For a nearly twenty year old machine (we got it when we were in Canbrrra, so it's heading on for "old enough to vote") it's doing quite well.

Hooray for an easy fix!

I'm stunned that any appliance lasts that long nowadays, but then it's not really from nowadays. Sounds like one heck of a machine.

I'm definitely fond of its longevity. It's starting to wear out to a degree these days - this is the second time in about three years we've had to get a repairman in to have a look at it - but it's definitely had a good innings. I'm very fond of appliances which have the lifetimes of small household pets (cats, dogs etc) rather than the lifetimes of goldfish or gerbils.
