Washing machine half broken, need advice
Will try to be short.
Recently our 10y+ machine started to beep a lot, stop turning etc.
Called Panasonic, they said it is too old and better buy a new one. No surprise here.
Checked the price on Bic C, price range is crazy. Can afford one around 100k, but anything above will be a stretch on our budget.
I think washing machine is simple tech. I am pretty sure any skilled tech with spare part could make it run smooth again.
Just don’t like the feeling of being trapped. I can already hear the sale guy saying this model have AI on top of ion cutter and hybrid mode.
Any tips on how to fix it ? Or how to get a good value model ?
Thank you.
