Got exactly what I ordered in good time and have fitted it and machine up and running.
Tumble dryer needed a new capacitor as it was only taking half loads of washing to dry This item was easy to find, locate on the website, delivery fast. Very easy to fit, and now working like new. Widow Twanky is very happy. Thank you Ransom Spares
