i paid extra to have the extended 5-year guarantee for my washing machine. during the 5 years i had one or two minor troubles not necessitating an intervention (mainly troubles with wires coming out of bras and getting stuck in various places, including the filter. note to all the ladies : best to get some sort of closed washing bag for your lingerie, because the bra wires will play havoc with the washing machine).
the guarantee expired on 3 october 2008,
one month and 6 days ago.
2 days ago, one of the plastic beater blades from the inside of the drum BROKE OFF while i was doing some washing. it can be replaced, of course, but since the five-year guarantee expired ONE MONTH ago, i'll have to pay for it myself.
