Last Friday my brand new AEG washing machine was delivered. On opening the drum to remove the instruction booklet I found the drum inside was wet, and indeed the booklet inside a plastic bag was also damp. Concerned that there may be a fault I telephoned AEG who said this was not right and told me to contact Curry’s the supplier. I telephoned Curry’s who said that this was perfectly normal as washing machines are tested prior to sale. With such contradictory comments I am hoping for some independent, but informed information.
Thanking you in anticipation.Re: Are all washing machines tested before sale?
Yes the vast majority of manufacturers water test their machines prior to despatch. The only known exception (IIRC?) are Bosch/ Siemens by virtue of the fact that in their user instructions they suggest pouring 1 litre of water into the soap dispenser prior to first use.
Re: Are all washing machines tested before sale?
That’s not actually correct Martin.
Most are “batch tested” which means that a machine is plucked at random and checked, the vast bulk are not actually tested as such.
