Hi Stanley, I have a kitchen plan insurance with domestic and general, pay direct debit monthly, which cover, washer, tumble dryer, cooker, and fridge freezer, so am pretty much covered if anything should break down, the washer is a hot point, it just makes me wonder how they can make you wait for so long for an engineer, when you pay insurance for this sort of thing, Never mind, one week today, we should be up and running, yipee, hugs and take care,
