Just one quick bitch ...

fucking washing machine.  just like i need something else to go wrong in my life, it now refuses to spin.  spent most of the evening trying to persuade it to do so, but to no avail, so i've got a full load of sopping wet washing to deal with, apart from stuff i need to felt for xmas pressies.

i can't fucking win - what's the point?

I found this site to help you maybe figure it out:

My washer won't SPIN!

 
Although all brands are different in design, the basic concept is the same. When a machine won't spin, there are several things to consider:



Is the belt broken? Loose?


Does the lid switch click when closing? (see video below)


Does the spin solenoid engage? (1984 and before)


Drive coupling worn out? (on some newer Whirlpool & Kenmore top loaders)


Current to motor? (Use voltmeter to check)

thanks, callaway.  i know what it probably is - it's the brushes which have died.  it's just a matter of getting someone to help me with replacing them, as i can't move the machine on my own.    and all the bloody faff, etc.  i just don't need any more hassle at the moment.

I wish I could help, but sadly am too far away. Probably be too distracted to actually work on the bloody washer anyway. Cheer up! You have all of us!!!

Within hours I was contacted by Comcast and they rectified the situation. That was not my intent, but interesting.

Way to go, Trig. Let's hope the other companies will respond well.

It's the principle of it. I don't care about the money. I'd rather see companies adopt policies for these situations that automatically go back to the date of death. Each company requested to see the Death Certificate to verify my story and the date I gave them. Why is this so hard? Verizon Wireless just billed me, even though I cancelled several weeks ago.

I will give credit to Newsweek, TV Guide, and (The Potomac) News & Messenger, each of which sent refund checks within a couple of weeks.

But AOL...argh! Still no response from them about cancelling her account.

[DirtDawg]

Yes, I agree. That would be an excellent example of responding well.

I was just patting you on the back for the effort you made and your instinct for channeling your frustration in a way that could add up to something significant.
Don't sell yourself short. It's kind of a large thing you did.

That was a well-written letter, Trigger.

I'm glad that Comcast did the right thing when they saw it.

I hope that AOL does the right thing and that it does not take you a year to finish dealing with them.

Stupid fucking database.
