Penguin45.I don’t think I’ve ever remembered yet to send in any guarantee cards with new items so far in life, so won’t have that as back up unfortunately – hence my worry! I do complete them, but it’s the posting of them that always gets forgotten – usually find them stuck in a drawer a couple of years later… 😳
Engineer turned up at 8.00am on the dot this morning and after 15 minutes or so of fiddling around, said he had no idea what half of the error codes it was bringing up meant… He’s replacing the main control board, plus some other sensor, in the hope of sorting it so I’ve yet another week with no washing machine. 😥 No mention of any bill yet so hopefully it’s okay.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. No celebrations planned, but have Granada TV coming to interview my daughter and I (she may be doing a documentary with them), so at least it will be different! 😉

Martin – Just a bit worried as the date on (in) the machine is October 2003, so if they just go by that it would be considered out of guarantee. Will see what the engineer has to say – hopefully it will be an easy repair so they won’t quibble. If it turns out to be a very expensive repair however, they may use the couple of months discrepancy between manufacture and when I purchased it to try to get me to cough up.
I actually bought it this week last year as it was my birthday present to myself, but the receipt still hasn’t turned up to prove it. Not had any dealings with repairs on any Indesit machines, so don’t want to count my chickens too much at this stage.
Penguin45 – Yep, t8 is short for Tait (not Tate!!). I’ve been using that user name for about 6 years now and this is the first time anyone’s realised without my having to explain it. 😉 I’ll forgive you for the misspell as a. I’m used to it now after all these years, and b. the message seems to imply that I’m young. 😀 I’m 42 years young on Thursday, so wish me a Happy Birthday. 😉 I’m just trying to work out the hidden meaning behind the name Penguin45 (Is that how many of the biccies you’ve been known to eat at one session perhaps?) 😉

Oops, my machine’s a WE16, not a WE14. No doubt much the same though.
Thanks for your speedy response. Thought I’d have another try this morning and after switching on was presented with a loud noise from within the machine, then ‘AUTO’ showing on the LCD display. That stayed on until switched off but is now again showing ‘F-01’.
As I couldn’t find my proof of purchase for the guarantee I didn’t think I’d get much joy from ringing Indesit, but after ringing today they’ve said they’ll send an engineer out on 4th January. No mention yet of being charged, but I’m a bit worried that they’ll bill me without my having proof of purchase… My machine was only put together in October 2002 (purchased Jan 2003), so hopefully it’ll be sorted out okay without. Fingers crossed…
