The selector dial has broken on my washing machine. I think it is about eight years old. It's integrated - which means replacement cost lowest at ?400 - most nearer ?800. New baby in two months - with associated money squeeze/heavy use of machine.
Will it be cost effective to ask a repair man round? Or will I just be stung for a couple of hundred quid, just for the machine to break again? It's all I can do not to take a screwdriver to the bl**dy thing myself!
