Washing machines and flying saucers
So we had a guy, who advertised in the local rag, come around to the flat and take a look-see at the washing machine. As I suspected, it was the “flying saucer thing” (in reality called a “pressure switch”) and its bracket that was goosed and needed to be replaced.
£34 for replacement parts and £30 for labour. And, because the parts are obscure, he asked me to send him the cost of the parts as a deposit.
*sigh*
As if I don’t fork out too much as it is for everything else.
On the up side, he did find a pound coin in the rubber seal around the fascia, which was a bonus — albeit a slightly tarnished one.
