I was able to get my washing done today before I went to DF-M place this morning. As I was to be there a lot longer than I am normally, her washing machine was off balance and the last person from a washing repairer company just put a piece of cardboard under one corner said it was too rusty to fix and too old to fix. Yes it was bought in 1985 but it still works and easy to understand how to work it when you can’t read. I have got one of same model too! Our policy is if you can fix it for under quarter of the value of new one or you can still get parts for it, then fix it. Yes they are high water users, but that’s they only problem. Both of us don’t have swimming pools so we don’t need to replace our washing machine to date. As this is part of our water level 4 restrictions for pool owners that you must have a water wise washing machines to top their swimming pools with potable water as well two other water savings in their home.
1.Water efficient indoor fittings including low flow showers, all kitchen & bathroom taps
2. Approved dual flush toilets that’s all in the house
3. A 4 star efficiency rated or better washing machine
4. Pool cover.
They have to do 3 of these options. My house has all these savings 1. & 2 but for the washing machine which I use the recycle grey water to water my garden.

When the latest washing machine repairman came, he was able to adjust the legs of the machine to make it balance. A Tip from repairman: To adjust the balance of a washing machine, you work from the front and balance it to opposite back so that if you adjust the front left you balance it to back right and front right you balance it to back left. Do make sure that when you do adjust it that you do lock the all legs down as well. This was one of the problems with DF-M as one of the legs was not lock down in place and was moving up and down when the machine went off balance.

It was a no spending day but it was learning day.
