Re: Feel very let down by ISE
I think the above remarks are totally unjust with regard to ISE, you were given the opportunity to take out the extended cover and You chose not to do so. The guarantee that ISE subsequently gave you was honoured fully.
Having said that you paid someone £160 to repair your machine and this is where you should be directing your complaint not at the ISE brand. However, you also have to shoulder some of the blame, in the 25 years that I have been in this trade, (and bearing (no pun) in mind that you have already experienced a bearing failure) I have never had a washing machines bearings fail without the customer noting that the thing has become noisy. If you chose to ignore this I would suggest that part of the responsibility rests firmly at your doorstep.
