Comment on Freezer defrosted: Can you put a fridge freezer in a garage? by Terry

Just a quickie – I too had the ‘garage’ experience with my Electrolux ER7626B fridge freezer before I moved it into the newly built utility room about 18 months ago. Whilst it was in the garage every time the ambient temperature fell below 10C I had to keep it nice and warm with a big cardboard box surround and a 2kw heater at the back just to make the compressor come on – my work colleagues thought I was joking when I told them!

I’ve never heard of anyone comparing Panasonic to Miele Terry. As you say they are just in the same build class as all the others in their price range.

Hello sh0ck99: Hoover used plastic at one point in the 70s but it used to crack and leak. Glass should be fine as long as it’s tough enough. Strictly speaking you aren’t supposed to wash bras in the washing machine (according to the bra manufacturers themselves) but I can’t imagine how a puny little bra under-wire could cause the door glass to shatter.

Panasonic viewed their machines as competitors to Miele. We viewed them as up against Bosch and LG. If they are now selling them at less than £400 I think that confirms our original take on them. Astroboy may consider getting a cheap Beko and keep in store for use while he waits for his Panasonic to be repaired, when it goes wrong.

Well looks like i can join the crowd today. I have a Bosch 500 washer and during the final spin it was making more noise then usual and when it stopped i noticed the glass on the inside was shattered. The unit is roughly 16 months old. Now im not sure if this is what happend or not but its plausable I looked through the clothes closest to the door to check for any item that could have done this and there was one of my wifes bra’s with a piece of the under wire poking out. is it possible that the wire could have scratched the door enough during the spins to score it at which point it shattered . I dont know theres a guy coming out friday to see if he can figure out whats going on to verify warranty or not leaving the clothes and glass in minus the bra of course. My only question is why do they use glass and not some sort of vac molded plastic does the washer generate that much heat that would cause other materials to melt?
