tell me how long do you think it takes to change the drum then say 1 and a half hours.
so what do you think hotpoint would charge to do a bearing and tub change.

tell me handyman if you had to have a hotpoint washer and didn't know how to fix them would you have taken out the extended warranty.

and from experience i think the zanussi washing machines are now getting a bit dodgy.don't you think.

also can you remember the ariston washer dryers i can remember a couple of those where the drum jammed with a sock round the heater and drum and the belt and the pulley on the motor melted.
also after a while the heat from the dryer would make the door warp and then it would leak.
i never did like ariston i had a mate was 1 of there service engineers i always used to get him to have a look at them for me if i didn't feel like doing them.
