We shipped over a washer-dryer from the UK (it's just over a year old) and it worked fine for a month or so, but has suddenly stopped working - power is getting to it but it won't start... any ideas?

Or know of any good washing machine repairers?

Cheers!

Had the same thing happen with my tumble dryer

worked for a few times and then wouldnt.

Turned out that during the move - something had worked loose and then snapped on usage after a few times. Sent for part but this took 12 weeks so ended up buying a new one - old one sat in parts now in garage

Have you checked the filter bit at the bottom of the machine ?

If the brushes are gone on the motor, the drum won't turn. Can be fixed. Is the water being drawn in at all? If not, possibly the pump has gone.

Thanks... will try that!

Did you remember to fit the transit bolts before shipping?

iPom

We didn't have transit bolts and so our machine was filled with a duvet and arrived just fine. I guess we were lucky but figured we'd risk it.

Lucky! :scared:

Perhaps its homesick

Chances are that it's only a connection that's worked loose in the move. Always look for the simplest things first - it's too easy to imagine the worst and rush out & buy a new one when the old one merely needs a going over and a wiggle of the connectors!

Plan B: (requires one sledgehammer....)

Is it plugged in ?

I was gonna say that...you're far too quick at typing

on a serious note do plugs in aussie have fuses ? If they do try changing it

iPom

No they don't. If a fuse blows, none of this farting around with plugs and little screws, and new fuses. You just go flick a switch in the fuse box. It's excellent.
