What washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- A drum with no bearing rumble on the spin cycle
- Original hoses and any remaining warranty
What pulls it down
- Door seal mould, which buyers see immediately
- Error codes on any cycle
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full spin cycle and listen for rumbling or grinding
- Check the door seal and drum for mould and limescale
Getting it ready
- Run a short cycle and watch the whole thing: fill, wash, drain and spin. Note any grinding, banging or leaking.
- Clean the detergent drawer, door seal and filter. A mouldy seal is the single thing that makes a buyer walk away.
