'F25' ends up being secret, costly code

25.09.11

You could say I’ve been a bit jumpy lately.

Agitated precisely because my washing machine has not been agitating anything except me. In fact, it wasn’t doing anything on its To Do list: soaking, washing, rinsing, draining or spinning.

Rather than, it just silently blinked “F25” at me.

If you do not have a washing machine that blinks secret hidden codes, it’s because you most conceivable do not have a new, front-loading, 19-month old washer with a digital readout panel like I do, and instead have a “old-time” top-leading machine that eats socks on occasion and rattles like a freight train.

Favourable you.

It’s not that I really cared if we bought the newest and fanciest model after our old one broke down, after years of loyal duel fighting grime. But it’s not easy to find much else.

There was an older model we were considering until the saleslady said it was a great machine as eat one's heart out as no loose change gets in it. Was she kidding? There are five males in my house. How did she think I was paying for this new washer?
