Vibrating washer dryer

[laukuk]

I got a 5 years old zanussi washer dryer which seriously vibrating and sometimes tripped circuit breaker (30% of chance).

Called Zannssi they suggested to join a repair & care plan for 14.49 pm for 12 month contract and get it fixed.

Should I repair or go for a new one?

New one!

If something was tripping my circuit breaker, I'd take no chances - I'd be getting a new one. The yearly cost of that care plan would be halfway towards a new washer dryer bought outright.

Not sure the repair & care plan from Domestic & General is reliable. They said they will guarantee for 12 months, and if cannot repair they will get a new equivalent replacement.

New one.

If I had the money (I don’t) I’d get a Miele.

if cannot repair they will get a new equivalent replacement

That will be their choice of machine - I'd prefer to choose my own.

Have you adjusted the feet?

I don't know Zanussi, but on Bosch, the price of a year's cover is not much more than the price of one repair, so worth having. Obviously they hope you will forget and carry on paying annually for ever (which is not good value).

I would get a new one. You could get an independent engineer out though. I wouldn't sign up to a warranty plan for a 5 year old machine, if you do be prepared for them to tell you it's wear and tear and not covered, oh, and that you are tied In to paying for 12/24 months!

Sorry ignore the last part, I missed the 12 month mention

I was really expecting a different kind of thread. For example, do Americans really use these to orgasm? Is this exclusive to Americans?

Anyway, I'd go for a new one.

I always repair appliances if possible (usually myself; it's not that hard if you read the service manual, and much cheaper).

There is a huge amount of embodied energy in white goods; it's irresponsible to just get rid of them if they can be fixed.

The tripping may not even be the machine's fault; some houses just don't have sufficient fuses for modern appliances. Check how much load is on that circuit, and it may need a different breaker.

Once the vibration starts it's difficult to fix.
