Washing is hopeless


Washer machine 2001 model Simpson heavy image.jpg Frustrating "How to " on the Internet does not cover washers There must be a simple solution to this lazy , cantankerous piece of technology It's a woman job anyway to attend to the washing ay. What can I do ? No woman available here . Time for a cuppa

Hmm might be time for a new one I think. The twin tubs are quite inexpensive and do a great job. More labour intensive I guess but not too much.

Hey Paul, I can see the problem in the pic mate, it stands out like you know what.

If you stand the machine up it will work fine blankstare  Make sure you put water in it though smile

Well .. . Yes , buying a newby washing machine requires a heap of money I might need to pass the hat around ? The trouble is , I'm guessing here , that everyone is as poor as myself , so the hat would would most likely be returned to me empty. The only option I have would be to break into my piggy bank money box , The darn thing is getting too heavy and full anyway. .....! Cheers from Paul

Don't do the washing - might get a bit lonely when you try to socialize though lol.

You can pick up bloody good top loaders that use bugger all water for about $250 from various suppliers - easy enough to connect although you will have to make sure you secure it properly.

Have you had a look on Gumtree and EBay - and also try googling it - "caravan washing machines and see what pops out (not your dirty undies hopefully)

A couple of things, If you use a Inverter type generator such as Hondas on varying loads such as Airconditioners & washing machines, don't use the generator set on ECO mode. Your old Simpson doesn't look like it has computer modules in it. What has likely to fail is the agitator motor reversing module.SIMPSON Motor control.JPGSIMPSON Motor control.2.JPG
