Incandescent

You might remember that my washing machine died a few weeks ago and at the time I wrote about it, I was waiting to take delivery of the new one.

As it turns out, the new one has also stopped working. 

I bought the machine from a seconds shop and that was a mistake. They didn't deliver on the day they said they would. I rescheduled and they called me on a different day while I was at work and said they'd be there in ten minutes. 

Realising that I couldn't rely on these people and not wanting to miss my chance, I said to leave it on the porch.

That meant they didnt take away the old machine.

A month later I put my laundry in and came back later to sopping wet clothes. The machine had been making all the right noises but not actually doing a single thing. The drum wasn't turning.

So I called the manufacturer and booked in a service call. We waited for days and I took a day off work and the technician didnt arrive. I called again and there was "no booking on the system"

So now I'm waiting again. I could have booked service with someone who arrived faster but that would void my warranty and I don't want to do that because I reckon it's unlikely this will be the last problem.

Nobody I called cared in the slightest so I left a scathing post on the facebook page.

If I get half a chance, I'll tell them I want a refund and next time I'll but from a more reputable place to avoid delivery issues. 

At this rate I'll be taking a couple of days off every month until Christmas!
