Turns out they also come in “the wrong colour”

You put your cat in the washing machine?

That’s a shame.

Mine tells me to do mine every so often and last time I did, I pulled out about 7 hair clips.

no that would be very cruel

I realised my washing machine could be one of those ones that catch fire this morning - so spent a good 10 minutes faffing on the internet and trying to find the serial number.

Apparently it’s fine and is not going to catch fire

Just bought a Samsung ecobubble. gets delivered on Sunday. NGL, pretty excited as old machine just wasn’t getting (admittedly toddler/ weaponsgrade) stains out and clothes smelt fusty.

Mine is a Samsung ecobubble - please, please, please remember to routinely clean your filter.

Oh I will! I quite like appliance maintenance.

The filters smell and weird grey gunk comes out of them. Plus the odd hairclip and stuff. I will do it though, promise.

In other washing machine related chat I ACTUALLY fixed the door of mine by finding a part ONLINE and taking apart the whole thing and putting the new mechanism in. The door was in pieces with the glass and bowl separate and everything. I also had to hack the door by opening it looping a cable around as it was stuck closed. The best DIY I have done for a year or more at least.

Urgh. More life admin. I have a Bosch that’s six months old. Should probably think about working out what to do. What’s the summary?

Haven’t done it since I moved in 6 months ago. Probably hasn’t been for years prior. Still won’t. Sorry.

Look down at the bottom of it near the floor. If it’s not draining at all DONT just open whatever you find, but if it is draining you should be ok to pull it out and give it a clear our

Everything seems fine.

So… Just open the flap, pull out the hing, and de-whatever it?

2 minute job, right?

Cool.

You had a whole tea towel in your filter! That must have been quite a blockage.

I need to do this!

My manual is very confusing. It says you need to take the front panel off with a screwdriver. But there are no screws. It actually means “lever the fucker off with a screwdriver”, but it doesn’t say that.
