The difference though is that a traditional TL washer and FL dryer would have controls on the rear of the machine, not on the front panel where a child could activate them. | ||

I posted this earlier this week....as it hit the Australian 
..but the easiest solution is to switch it off (all our points are switched) or unplug it... Not to mention using any door safety things.... My Electrolux/Zanussi has a button in the inside edge of the door I can turn to prevent the door being shut... It all comes down to being a responsible adult. If you leave your appliances switched on/plugged in and water on in a ready to use state and have children, you have the potential for disaster....and if you fail to use the safety devices fitted well my sympathy has gone totally... For me to get my machine from a safe, non-usable state to ready to use takes 15-20 seconds....tap on, switch on and door closure prevention turned to close...(coin in slot) Nobody but nobody is that pushed for time that they can't turn a tap and flick a switch/plug a lead in NOBODY.... Why does it take a tragedy for us to take responsibility for our actions or inactions or do we just not 'think'? CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK | ||
