Is it worth repairing a 10 year old washing machine?
Discussion
yes coins go down the slot between the inside edge of the door seal and the front edge of the inner drum (the bit with all the holes in) Even when new this gap is big enough for a coin to slot down and the gap expands with age as the door seal shrinks and the inner drum (made out of piss poor thin stainless these days)runs out of shape. If lucky these will caught in the filter, at worse they will punch a hole in the plastic tub that most machines are made of.
When it comes down to it though its not the fault of the washing machine..... neither are probably 85% of faults we get called out for.

One of our machines developed a leak between the front door seal and a drain hose going down straight from it. The cement stability block had been rubbing on it.
Called our insurance, explained EXACTLY what it was, to be told, "Don't worry our fitters carry loads of parts with the "
The fitter turned up 4 days later, checked it out, said the block had been rubbing on the hose and had caused the leak, have a new one in 7 to 10 days.
Don't think I will bother next time.
This was we had small kids and a washing machine was needed on a daily basis.
