Help is at hand...well, in cyberspace.



This morning when I went to put a load of washing into the machine I noticed the lights were flashing and the door wouldn't open.  I called Grandma down and she told me Hugo had pressed some buttons.  We were completely baffled and tried pressing a few buttons ourselves, but still the door wouldn't open.  I put it through a cycle, empty, expecting the door to open when it had finished, but no such luck.

I emailed Philip and got the usual no reply.

I skyped Feyzi in Turkey and got an instant reply, even though it was in the middle of his night.  Switch the power button. Oh, I didn't know washing machines had a power button so it took me quite a while to find it, but find it I did.  All it took was one press and hey presto! the door opened!

All those science degrees at the Turkish Military Academy have been useful after all, Lt Col Feyzi!!!

That set me off looking for the power button on my machine in case Hugo pops over to see us. x

My trick is to turn it off at the power point...
