Wot 'e said!

Domestic appliance engineering was my Late fathers business and he refused
to take on the Phillips franchise.
I'm not sure, but I think Whirlpool is still part of the Phillips banner.

Indeed. When the ancient Whirlpool top loader at the chateau gave up the
ghost I had a quick look inside. The drive belt had jumped off. So I got
our wonderful French neighbour who is an electrician and white goods
engineer to come round. He pointed out that the belt had jumped off
because the pulley had come loose. The pulley had come loose because a
bearing had gone. He had the part on his van, but then as he probed
further pointed out that another bearing had also gone (which is why it
rumbled like an earthquake and tried to walk round the room on spin).

We asked how much and he said it would be better to get a new machine
(well he would wouldn't he?). TBF he got us a similar, basic 'Laden' (no
Bin) job out of his catalogue and had it delivered and installed the
next day even though this was 5 in the afternoon in deepest rural
France.

Does everything we want and knowing his labour rates (all to do with tax
on small business men) was probably very little more than the cost of a
repair would have been.

I must admit this is my favoured option - the poor thing's 9 years old
now, and was included in the cost of the house.

I always allow myself some sort of toy out of my bonus each arch, so
this year, I gees I get a washer-dryer.

Trouble is, the new one won't "go" with the cooker, so that'll have to
be changed, too, no doubt.

Ho-hum.

Don't get a combined washer/dryer. It should be one or the other. WDs are
always shite. A nasty compromise at best, and only ever designed for houses
with no space for both separates (info from a friend of mine who was head of
design for Philips consumer appliances in Eindhoven for 7+yrs)

I live in a modern house -there is no space[1] - which is also why
there is no dishwasher.

[1] A big improvement on the kitchen in my old flat - where I could
touch all four walls without moving my feet.

AOL.. except I got a countertop dishwasher, which takes more of the
kitchen than makes sense, but allows me to be lazy.

This is why I live in a 1920s house.

Put your tumble dryer in the garage. That's how we got around it.

Garages are too valuable to use for such fripperies

Most garages are too small to house a car these days, and, ISTR, Dodger
doesn't own one anyway - meaning that he should have plenty of space for
a dryer in his garage, alongside the bikes.

Motorcycle equipment will automatically grow to fill all and any available
space. In Scotland I had a 3 row garage with an upstairs for storage. In 4
years the upstairs was full and I could squeeze one car.

Before I left NI I was looking at a farmhouse with an enclosed
concrete/steel barn big enough for 12 cars. I thought "this will keep me
going as long as I die under 65".
