Recommendation for new washing machine

jL came up trumps when our previous washing machine gave up after just out of warranty,got a JL own brand still going after 6yrs

That's good to know. Several of the JL staff are using them apparently and as they said they don't get commission.

Our LG is more than 14 I think, it is a great machine and long may it continue to be, but it does like to walk across the floor from time to time 😱.  I have have to uptake to all the internal doors in the conservatory, it was just going to be 2 doors, as it almost shut me out if the kitchen! No worries I thought to self, I'll go out the dining room into the conservatory in through the kitchen door, oops key on wrong side!

There is not really  a big variation in sizes if you mean outside dimensions.

Most freestanding ones will fit in a 600mm wide space, and are less than 860mm high.   Some are however deeper back to front than others, which is not good if in the kitchen.

If needing an integrated one, I believe they are a standard size.

Yes it was mainly the depth but I believe some in width too. Not integrated but kitchen, refitted 8 years ago, built around it by professionals.......

I have never particularly bothered with extended warranties. Looking at a reasonably priced Bosch in JL they give a two year warranty and if you wanted to extend the full warranty that would cost £100 to take the warranty to five years in total. So basically for the three years covered by the extended warranty it works out at just under £3 a month. Often its worth looking at what the manufacturer has to offer, sometimes you can extend the warranty on the parts only at a cheaper rate. You still have to pay for the labour charges outside of the standard warranty period but it can be a good half way house. In the past I have not been very good at registering products with the manufacturer but I am keener on that idea now since a problem I had with a Vax cleaner which would have been a lot easier to deal with had I done so. I should add that once I had done that Vax were excellent in how they dealt with the problem.

What's all this got to do with caravanning?

Not a lot. However, it is in the general chat section, which is for:-

“For topics not covered in other discussion areas and a place to chat.”

Ask my wife that after we've been away for two weeks and she's putting load no.8 into the machine! Think I know what answer you'll get!

Apart from the above fluff - have you carried out the basics like checking trip switches and plug fuses?

First forget about the trillion different  programs machines, most people only use or need  more then a few
A good indicator of a machines build  is its load capacity ,as it gives a good indication of the build of the machine ie the higher the wash load capacity the more robust the machine 
On some machines if you read through the destruction you may find a way to reset the programmer ,if not you can try unplugging .or switching the device of at the socket, and leave for a good period, say a day, then switch back on 
Check if what ever the display is showing, it is not an error code ,and may be rectified quite easily
