I’d ask yourself, which is more work - trying to repair a fucked machine, or buying a second hand one for similar mone?
That's the main thing innit, cheers both! Got chatting to a mate round the corner whose machine we can use till we sort something out. She actually had hers replaced by a bloke who came out to try and repair it at first. Gave him a glowing review so he's coming round on Monday👍
We're deffo gonna try and get something nice for the new place. Second hand miele or the like.
On the quality fridge/freezer topic, I broke the bank on a Bosch 10 years ago and despite both handles falling off its still going strong at my parents' place. Would get one of those again if I could.

Deffo buy a cheap second hand one to tide you over.
I repaired our old washing machine a few times. New brushes, replaced a circuit board (only because it was available second hand for £30, the same part new was £140 IIRC), but when the bearing died and took out the heating element in the process, the thought of dragging it all out and doing an involved repair (£100-150 in parts), it just didn’t make any sense.
We bought a second hand Miele and it’s been faultless, but if it was just for a short period of time I’d definitely have bought cheap second hand.
