Re: Indesit Washing Machine explodes!!!
I have spoken to Indesit today, they have agreed to replace washing machine and compensate for damage caused. Very helpful customer services lady on the phone who seemed genuinely concerned, and eager to get our machine back so that they can look at what has gone wrong with it.
Regards

http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OBwIGh3ULrZefu7js8wQnA?feat=directlinkThe machine is an Indesit WIXL163, purchased i think around October 2007 from Boots Kitchen Appliances.
Have no idea what the actual flow of the damage was, but everything internally in the machine is destroyed, the drum is split open, and the clothes that you can see in the drum in the picture are stuck in there. I have retrieved several pieces of tattered cloth indicating the clothes are ruined. There are dents which can be seen on the outside of the casing, and some minor damage has occured to kitchen units surrounding the washing machine.
My wife and baby were at home at the time, in other rooms. My wife described the noise as sounding as though a bomb had gone off in the kitchen, and the electrics in the house were tripped.

This has happened to us today!!! Just found this post about it when googling for other occurances! It’s virtually the same as this person from Hatfield as far as i can tell. We bought the machine in 2007 and it’s hardly had what you could call heavy use as it’s been just me and the mrs up until the birth of baby in october last year.
I’m going to get in touch with Indesit in the morning!James
