Ours packed up after 12months here (only 18 months old in total) and that was the problem with it. There was loads of fluff, paper (hopefully not bank notes but they are plastic and indestructible unlike monthly train tickets - an expensive lesson learnt there, sand, stones and even the wire from under one of Sam's bras - she didn't miss it apparently )

The water flows the other and the machine is now confused.

You'll all be ecstatic to hear that the washing machine was obviously so amused it decided to start working again... Hurrah!

But now it spits blue stuff on all white washes... any ideas?
