Re: Indesit WIE157S Washing Machine

Oh I hope it’s not that. A lot of the damage was caused where the plastic “stirrer” thing has broken off. I think the drum was trying to move but something on the outside of it has stopped it so it pushed and pushed and pushed until the plastic snapped and the metal buckled.

I’ve just rung and got an engineer booked for this Friday. Unless he can prove differently (i.e. pulls a pair of tweezers or something ridiculous out) I’m arguing for it to be repaired/replaced for free.

I guess I’m lucky in a way that it’s broken now rather than in a months time when I’m out of warranty!

Thanks for your help.

Thanks.

Do you think it’s likely to be covered by the guarantee from what I’ve said?

Or could F08 and a stuck, buckled drum be caused by a foreign object?

(sorry for being so dumb but I’m just hoping so much that it is covered by guarantee coz I really don’t have the money to repair/replace at the moment!)

Thanks for your very quick response! 🙂

Would this be coverable by the year guarantee? Is there anything I could have done to cause this? Could it have been caused by an item of clothing like a sock or something “escaping” from the drum and getting stuck outside?
