Damage to washing machine/ curtains who's liability

Baby01032012

Update

I need help.

Had plumber out 3rd day in a row. Checked everything going in and out of washing machine, right pressure, no blockages. This is washing machine I bought yesterday and same issue as previous one. It washes away but then doesn't drain just makes strained noise.

Nearly there with other issues. Plumber back tomorrow to replace ball cocks in toilet as new pump keeps going on and off. That's the new pump that replaced 2 week old pump.

Fuse board..electrician replaced half the breakers now other half starting to trip.

Just spent 17k refurbishing the apartment.

I've seriously thinking of getting a priest out..its haunted.

The outlet pipe rarely blocks but it could bring that. But try leaving the machine well out from the wall. It sounds simple but regularly happens, a new machine is slightly larger than the previous one and kinks the waste hose. Definely a drainage issue so either the curtains are preventing the machine from draining, or the hose or the outlet pipe but most likely the hose.

The breakers, most likely you have relocated something electicial eg fridge, washer etc..... or something new has been plugged in placing too much load on the circuit. Any decent electrician will sort it but try to isolate what's running athe the time.

I should post a final update to close this off.

So having bought new washing machine €250 and with same issue. Plumber had a look couldn't find anything wrong. Called out service agent €75.

The end of the output pipe always has a cap on inside that needs to be cut. So lot of money spent needlessly.

Old washing machine was fine. Again when builder put in new kitchen he put in new pipe and left cap on.

How did the first one ever work??? Did the previous tenant never wash anything???

Glad to hear it was something simple in the end, and there are no more costs after this.

Edit: forgot about the refurb
