Blog Prompt - June 30, 2008: What I last saw out of my living room window…
The last thing I saw out of my loungeroom window was the washing machine repairman as he backed out of the driveway. It’s been six weeks since my washing machine died, even longer since I contacted Electrolux to find out if they would cover the repairs under warrantee.
Today, finally, the guy arrived to make the repairs. One problem - since the original problem occurred two months ago, the motor has finally packed in as well. So now, another wait, to find out if they will repair this further damage or if I have to pay for it and the repairs.
I will never buy brand new again after this problem. If I have to buy a new washing machine I will scour the shops until I can find a decent second hand one. At least with them you only expect two years or so of use before having to be replaced. I was expecting at least five years of use from a brand new one, because I know that these days, no appliance is built to last.
My advice?
Never buy electrolux or westinghouse because their customer service is atrocious and their product sucks.
How awful to be without a washing machine! Hope you’re back doing laundry again soon
