Thanks for the advise – I’ve passed on the info in the article to my wife, but I guess she won’t pay any attention and still keep opening the door part way through cycle, so I’ll probably end up buying her a washing line.
More seriously though, there is only one thermostat that is visible. I can see a recess in the moulding where a second ‘stat “could” be seated, but there’s no wires ?! any ideas where the other one may be – and is it safe to operate the machine with only one? – I purchased “brand-new” from Comet, so are they selling potentially dangerous goods??
