Re: Quality machines – how much…?
So what’s happened to washing machines in the last 10-15 years? It sounds like we were lucky our AEG has lasted as long as it did – and I still wish we could get it working again – but this thread and many others on this forum seem to show that the quality of washing machines has really gone downhill. What’s gone wrong?
Re: Quality machines – how much…?
Thanks gandh1. Tried the obvious stuff straight away but no joy. Should also have said although I don’t know what the problem is, my brother, an electronics engineer, had a look and wondered if the main pcb or control unit could be at fault. I’m in Renfrewshire so could get someone out for £30 and maybe take a chance he finds the fault and could supply parts. Don’t know about cost but guess wouldn’t be as expensive as new machine and would last a few more years. Only three of us in house so wasn’t overly used machine anyway.
Didn’t know AEGs were made outside Germany nowadays. Would hate to think about buying a “name” and find it’s not as well built as I thought it would be, based on past reputation.
