dave moffat Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Yeah, you have my sympathy, I've had weeks like that. There are days weeks even years in our lives when the pile of dung just seems to get deeper, you can't see a way out and everyone just seems to want to add to the pile. Just have to think 'This too will pass' put your head down, do what you can and not be afraid to ask/accept help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbd1960 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 That's painful.... the crows often come in flocks... Definitely check the Sale of Goods Act as good have to be of 'merchantable quality' so something like a cooker is expected to last for years without issue. That means manufacturers can't just hide behind 'warranty expired'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like NZ's it has real teeth that are easily brought to bear. You only have to mention you know your rights under sale of goods act and they will cave. They have a schedule for expected lifespan on durable goods. TV's and fridges are something like 5 years trouble free operation regardless of the 2 year warranty. 9/10 they will give you a new one to get you out of their hair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
