It's meant to be an under the unit washing machinehowever there isn't any room in our kitchen.

We've tried everything to stop it from atepmting to destroy the house. Yesterday it knocked over the dishwasher and managed to jump around so much that it unplugged it self.

I think it's possessed by demons, I refuse to use it unless their's someone strong in the house.

If it's leaping about then I think it's because it's little legs aren't level - it should hopefully just need pulling out and the legs adjusting so it sits totally level :)

LMAO Grin

can you please video it for us and maybe we can perform an excorcism for you.

I really should video it it's terrifying. it's not so much leapind about it just vibrates a hell of alot...

I've actually shunted an old oven unit in front of it to stop it destroying the hallway.

I'm going through nesting and as much as it scares me i need to wash all the baby clothes and stuff ready for 10 weeks time.

I'm thinking of calling a preist...

try throwing some holy water in there, see if it hisses

muggglewump · 19/08/2010 17:41

Perhaps there's a kangaroo stuck in it?

Make sure the transit bolts have all been removed, sounds like there could still be one in there, we had the same prob with ours, I damn near shit myself!

just be careful that is doesn*t lock you out.
a friend had her washing mashine in the kitchen. odd flat so the kitchen was basically the hallway just when you came into the flat.
she put on her washing, went out to the shops and could only open the door about 2 inches when she came back. the wasching mashine has "walked" across the room and blocked the door. you know how heavy these beasts are, there was no way of pushing it open far enough to get in. she had to knock at the neighbours and climb over the balcony to hers and break in.

Is it secondhand or dirt cheap? how heavy is it, they are meant to have a big lump concrete or metal in the bottom to stop them walking around the kitchen.

maybe you could glue a chair to the top and charge people for a ride.

this thread has made my day Grin

I can set it up on a date with my washing machine that landed hubby in A+E when it turned on him while he was loading it with laundry one day.

agedknees · 19/08/2010 18:14

Does it spew out green gunge out of its door?

Habbibu · 19/08/2010 18:31

Look in at the washing - is "Help me" spelt out in socks?

Starbuck999 · 19/08/2010 18:35

I second the idea about checking for any transit bolts still in situ! We didn't remove them when we moved and I tried to use the machine and it was so unbelieveably scary - I thought it was going to explode!

Snobear4000 · 19/08/2010 18:38

I am terrified of your spelling!

muggglewump · 19/08/2010 18:46

maybe you could glue a chair to the top and charge people for a ride.

I'd pay for that on the spin cycleBlush

invisibleink · 19/08/2010 18:53

Well it is clearly possessed ... it has the exorcist style spinning sorted out!

BextheBambi · 19/08/2010 20:59

I have told the men of the house..I'm not going anywhere near it.
There have been no messages conveyed by the machine it's self just manic spinning.

It seems to pick a fight with the dishwasher more often than not. I'm gonna check all the concrete and stuff. It's a heavy duty smeg washing machine.

I don't think it likes me :(

Your washing machine is trying to talk to you, it is letting you know that ladies can 'infect' all electrical appliances, something complicated to do with hormones and the position of the moon probably.

My suggestion is that you tell the men of the house that you should not be allowed contact with anything electrical and they need to take charge of washing machine, dishwasher and any other electrical appliances, especially the hoover, can you imagine what would happen if that got 'infected'! Grin

My Mum had one that did this, turns out one of the concrete blocks that surround the drum to keep it balanced was broken Shock. Repair man said he'd never seen anything like it, Mum kept quiet about the MASSIVE loads of washing she does (to save money - Ha!)
