Our old washing machine seems to be destined for the great spin cycle in

I thought Zanussi were generally reckoned to be crap. Does the fact John
Lewis use them make them OK or make John Lewis crap?


[1] house RCD cut out last weekend. Magic smell seemed to be escaping
from machine. Investigation revealed no obvious damage on PCB but motor
brushes down to nothing. eBayed some more & put them in today. RCD
clicked straight off again. Don't think I can justify shelling out on new
PCB or professional repair on ancient machine (Bosch Maxx WFL2260).


new motor is sub £100 usually. I had this. Internal motor short to earth.
