my dishwashers packed up

but been thinking about it and i bought it second hand 18 years ago from a posh house and they said it was 9 years old . so its got to be 25 to 27 years old and still washes just the timer sticks (last week it was drying for 15 hours  )

so to be fair its done rather well . will be a shame to scrap it

It has done well...WD40 in the switch and a darn good wiggle will stop it sticking... 

iv tried it mate , first time it stuck was 15 years ago and wd and a smack has always worked but this time its not , im guessing its not as efficient as a new AAA rated one anyway and you can get a nice shiny one off ebay for 70 quid so i think its time to go .

"fair well old friend , thanks you for my lovely soft hands "

My dishwashers packed up too. She says she wants a holiday! 

, get a new one off the Internet mate
