    I am having major problems with this machine and have done for a long time although this machine is just about 3 years old. Loads of my washing – i.e. t-shirts are coming out of the machine with holes. They are often in the pattern of the drum. Have checked the drum for snags hundreds of times and can’t find anything. Before I pay £89.98 for an engineer to call I thought maybe somebody here could help. Thanks.

    Susie,

    Overloading is the primary reason for damage to clothing in a machine!

    Secondly, the drum on your machine is just slightly thicker than tin foil, so it is prone to damage very easily. The three ‘Drum Paddles’ often loosen and can pinch delicate clothing (especially synthetics).

    Finally, don’t waste your money on calling out the manufacturers (far too costly) Instead try Repairs@

    Thanks for the advice. Do you know if they do repairs in the north of Scotland?

    OK Susie forget that idea, instead concentrate on checking the drum is clear of any problems. If it is clear, then do please make sure to wash all fabrics on the correct programme. Check their ‘care labels’ and put on the appropriate programme for that label. Also use a quality detergent and not the regular supermarket ‘own brand’ rubbish!

    Hope that sorts it for you?…Now go read the User Booklet that came with the machine for the finer points 😉

    P.S Use a ‘Laundry Bag’ to wash real delicate stuff in 🙂
