Our washing machine has broken
Has anyone got a fixer to recommend? The bloomin' thing started going mental on Friday evening and doesn't respond to any programme that we put it on, even though it is a Whirlpool and only 18 months old.

Pat Graves has always proved trustworthy for us. His phone number can be found in other threads on this forum.

Does anyone have the current number for Pat Graves? The number I have (01438 355262) "has not been recognised" and my washing machine sounds like it is about to pop its clogs.

Regardless of warranty 18 months is not an acceptable length of time for a washing machine to last, you therefore have the right to a free repair. Pursue it through the shop and don't let them fob you off by sending you to the manufacturers, your contract is with the shop nobody else.
Extended warrantees are in most cases a rip off, they generally cover you for the time that is classed as "reasonable use" and during that time you still have the right to a repair regardless of any warranty.
If you don't get anywhere just call Trading Standards that normally gets things moving [:D]

Just a quick note to highly recommend Pat's services. Mrs P rang him several times between 19.00 and 19.45 and he talked her through how to fix the washing machine (and we're now 52p better off after cleaning the filter out!). No call out fee, no parts, very helpful and very patient indeed. Thanks Pat!

Pat is also VERY good at mending ovens, when my door dropped off! he managed to get the hinges it was a Neff Nostalgic cast iron oven which they discontinued, lasted until I had a new kitchen installed last year. Well done Pat!!!
