Oh bleep. My washing machine has been recalled

[cat_mioux]

because of serious risk of fire!   

I received a letter in the mail and had to check the model number.

They are sending a techie in the next '3-5 days' to fix the problem. "In the mean time do not leave washing machine unattended".

Right. I'm off to a wedding. Today can only get better.

i heard years ago pete townshend got mixed up with it somehow, dunno whether he was found guilty or not, but you do see them in a different light

these days i just focus on their musical talents and leave it at that

whoops, wrong thread, Lol

[**meep**]

I should have not left my washing machine unattended 2 days ago. I flooded my house.  Drying the floor rugs has been difficult with the rainy weather and I don't even want to think about the damage to the floating floorboards.  Its a complete disaster.

Oh no. Don't know what to say.

Except obviously make sure it doesn't happen again.

Pretty bad, they should be able to manufacturer washing machines (and other electrical items/appliances) without them being in danger of catching fire, in this day and age.

well, my last 3 cars have all been recalled for service but all three cars were found to be free of the fault which they were looking for and had been reported in some of them. (Is that what it is called when the manufacturer notifies you of a fault in the model and tells you to bring it in for checking?) That was on a Toyota, Hyundai and a Mazda.

It's like they call you in for an app update.

Don't leave it unattended???

How on earth is it going to have the risk mof fire if it is unplugged?? Rub two knickers together ??

I cant believe that they would have said, how silly can they get?

[*crikey*mate*]
