Hi All -
We moved house just over a month ago, and have been using the washing machine that came with the house since then - a Zanussi S218T. From searching, it seems to be at least 40 years old. It has been working well - doing 1 or even 2 loads a day for the last 5 weeks.
Not too bad on energy either - standard 1 hour wash taking about 1 kWh in energy saving mode (yes, it has an energy saving button!). Admittedly, this does not include heating the water, as it has both hot and cold water piped in.
Some great engineering from Zanussi.
Anyway, in the past few days, it has begun leaking between loads. That is, when switched off and empty, some water will gradually seep out from underneath. Does anyone have any ideas what might be the cause, or what I should look for ? Would be great if it's something minor that I can repair.
thanks for any help!
