Has anyone else spotted that with each new design platform, manufacturers think of new ways to hinder maintenance? What was a 20 minute job on a Bosch WAE can easily become a 40 minute job on one of these, or possibly 1 hour if you’re unlucky with the installation.
The few pence saved on easy access panels in manufacture must be more than cancelled by extra £££ in warranty repair costs?
The hinged front of pre-2000 Miele washing machines gets my vote for most repair-friendly design.
