When you buy a washing machine it will have a guarantee. Are you covered when the guarantee ends and is it at this point that you need to take out washing machine insurance? Your consumer rights means that the machine needs to be fit for purpose so if your washing machine should develop a major fault even though the guarantee has ended it could be that via a small claims court you could get your money back for a repair or new washing machine if the fault was not considered to be caused by regular use. You have up to six years in the UK and five years in Scotland to take legal action against the washing machine seller if you feel that the fault is caused by the manufacturer rather than general use of the washing machine. The legal argument is against the seller of the electrical appliance and not the manufacturer and if you do go to court the cost of the electrical appliance will be taken into account. If you have bought a cheap machine and it has a fault after five years this will be viewed with less sympathy than if you had bought a top of the range electrical appliance. If for any reason you are thinking about going to court to make a claim over an electrical appliance then always consult a fully legal representative to see where you stand if you do end up in court.
