How long is a piece of string?
Regardless of the amount of loads your doing the bearings could last one more wash or the next 5 years, you never can tell. the risk you take im afraid but what I would do is, seeing as the house is 'furnished' with the washer surely the landlord needs to either have it repaired or supply a new one. I suspect he would put a new one in, in which case accept and bite his hand off. Who knows he may get something decent. If he does get you something not particualry great then well does it matter? you could play with it for a while, then re install your Zanussi if what he supplies isnt upto scratch. not like the storage issue is there as it would just be a swap. Would give you chance to make sure yours is ok and functional and its always a machine to fall back on if one does go wrong. |

Pesky bearings!!
I always find it is a case of how far do you let it go? See my link of a indesit in one of my dads properties the bearings are completely shot and the drum is loose and i'm pretty confident it was used up until this point!! I would just be a nervous wreck everytime it span! And I was when I filmed it! lol!! I've a feeling regular full loads and towel loads will help it on it's way to retirement sooner rather than later Liam. Darren CLICK HERE TO GO TO newwave1's LINK |

Liam, I personally wouldn't touch the majority of the new Zanussi range. The flexidose machines and those horrid cheap chinese made machines are HORRIBLE. The only decent machines are the jetsystems and Zanussi have discontinued the 1600rpm model, which leaves only the 1200 and 1400 models available.
My Mum has the 1600 Jetsystem and it's a great machine, but the rest of the range really don't cut it. The previous style machines weren't great, but had considerably better build quality. It's such a shame, but Zanussi are really going to rat sh!t lately. |

Its a quality machine, better than the latest offerings from Electrolux, just pay a engineer to fix it! |
