This is when I feel we are really homeschooling, when my son can do something with his hands and really feel proud of his achievements. We got a cheap washing machine only a few weeks ago as we didn’t have one and due to finances had to be cheap, then of course it broke down after only a couple of weeks s I guess you could say I wasn’t too happy. I had the guy out to repair it once and paid him his fee, then of course with washing mounting I was pleased I could catch up on it again, 2 loads later, it broke down again.
The repair man had told me it was a block in the pump so said to my son “how do you feel about pulling the washing machine apart with mum and seeing if we can fix it, rather than paying again”, I mean how hard can it be?
He replied with “yeah I will give it a go”
So we went forth and took the machine outside, took the pump apart and fixed it ourselves, before this I had no idea what part the pump even was.
But 10 mins later it was back inside, power on and hey presto it worked. I have now done several days of washing and still working fine, fingers crossed lol.
