When I first moved to the flat that I currently reside in, I inadvertently managed to break one of the hinges on ma oven door. That was nearly 5 years ago, but last night it gave up the ghost and just dropped off 
I suppose it was on borrowed time anyway, but what appliances, be they mechanical or electrical, are you pushing to the limits?  |

My washing machine is being an arse. It locked last weekend with all my work clothes inside it and I had to have an engineer out.
Now once the cycle has finished the drum is slowly starting to fill with water  |

I have been pushing the limits of all of mine. The fridge gave up last year and had to be replaced.
The washing machine had been on borrowed time for approximately a year with an error message that I had to keep resetting it several times mid wash.
The freezer had been making a weird noise and the seal was broken.
The oven was loud, cooked one side of everything more than the other (and in dire need of a clean).
I replaced them all in the January sales and the next day my microwave blew up. 
I can’t really complain as they all came with my flat and I’ve been here 15 years. They didn’t owe me anything.
Now I’m loving my nearly new kitchen. Currently making a pot of soup and cooking a roast in my SELF CLEANING oven!  |

"I don’t want to say in case I jinx it. But it’s got to be about 10 years old now and I just hope it keeps washing x "
I kept my washer going 2 years on from an error message and being frustrated non stop
so last November finally bought a new one but can’t get the app to work so I can operate it from my phone! |

I once bought a second hand washer out of the local paper, it worked fine for about 18 months, then the seal on the door decided it didn't want to play anymore. |

My original professional GHD hair straighteners. 18 years old and they've had the flex repaired and plug replaced, but they're still better than anything on the market now |

My washing machine is relatively new but it goes for a dander when it spins. Ends up a few feet away from where it started. I have the bin wedged in front of it for now so that I can still use it. I'm not allowed to do anything strenuous for a few weeks, but I think I need to put a mat or something underneath it to stop it dancing, that or its posessed. |

Try a little wedge of wood or one of those rubber doorstops.  |

I will give it a go, don't know how I was going to get it neatly onto a mat |

Mine is going well so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. X |

It maybe overloaded? All the clothes sticking to one side seem to cause this |

It does it more with less clothes, maybe not enough weight in it. |

My microwave must be 15 years old, I only used it to defrost meat which is pretty often.
My washing machine....sounds like the drum is on its way out but I wouldn't know if there's an error message. Somehow the little screen decided to turn into Spanish!!!! |

Same here. Mine are held together with electricians tape. I haven’t found a better pair. |

WTF
Why do need an app to operate the washing machine ?
For safety You should never have a washing machine operating in an empty house. |
