Just wondering if anyone has had anything similar happen and how it all played out. Had a washing machine delivered and it was installed by the lads from Harvey Norman. Everything seemed grand and I'm just in the sitting room playing the Playstation when I notice water coming through the wall of the kitchen into the sitting room. The washing machine was leaking and there was water everywhere. Sitting room absolutely destroyed and I'm worried about mould and stuff like that. The lads from Harvey Norman came back and disconnected it. They said it was a fault with the machine. The manufacturer is sending out an engineer this evening to confirm if it was a fault with the machine. I'm just wondering in situations like this are these fellas easy enough to deal with? It surely can't be the first time that they have dealt with a situation like this. If they confirm that the machine was faulty will I constantly need to be chasing them to get everything sorted?

Joking aside, you will be entitled to compensation one way or another, the fitters either made a balls up or the fault lies with the manufacturer of machine, 1 of them will have to foot the bill for the damage done, if all else fails get on to your own house insurer to see what the Craic is ------------- When all is said and done there is nothing left to say or do |

No harm talking to your insurer anyway, they could potentially cover it and then chase the manufacturer / installer for the recovery on it. Might save you additional ballache. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

The only issue with going through your own insurance is the no claims issue - it might be better to see if Harvey Norman or the manufacturer will cover it first. There's no point claiming €300 from your insurance if it means you have to pay an extra €50 for the next eight years. -------------

If the lads f**ked up installing a washing machine they should be sent to hatch 13. Couldnt be easier to connect up ffs. Hope you got a good deal initially anyway from Harvey Norman, theyre always a lot dearer for everything ive ever price checked from electronics to bloody photo paper.

You bought from Harvey Norman? Were they Aussie installers? They probably installed it upside down. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

| The engineer from the manufacturer came out and confirmed it was a fault with the machine so they will be ringing me at some stage this morning to go through what work needs to be done. Apparently it was an issue with a valve not being fully tightened. So far so good with them not acting the bollocks anyway. |

Mine was a dishwasher, God I'd never do that with a washing machine. Saying that, about 2 weeks later the central locking went in my car. So either karma or the guy came back to pay me a visit. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |
