Keep reading to find out what broke my washing machine, and how I fixed it myself. Last week, the washer jammed shut. Hubby managed to get the door open & was greeted by about 20 litres of stinky water for his
trouble!

After trying various things over the weekend (to no avail), and finding out the manufacturers wanted a £129 call out fee, I decided to take matters into my own hands!

Some googling showed me how to change the pump, so I got stuck in! Almost an hour later, I pulled out a sheet of colour catcher – still in tact! I put the washer back together & what do you know….. It was working!

I fixed it myself!

All I can say is I am bloody glad I’m such a cheap skate or I’d have been even more annoyed! Imagine paying £129 for a washing machine repair, to be told a colour catcher was the culprit – I’ll stick to Dr Beckmann in future, that’s for sure! I’m super proud that I fixed it myself!

Needless to say, colour catchers are off my shopping list AND my Xmas card list! I’d sooner spend the money on the energy used doing an extra load of washing each week.

This got me thinking… What have you done for yourself & been mega proud of?
