Mend Hotpoint WM63p Washing Machine Wash

how long is worth repairing a washing machine for?

I have a hotpoint WM63p wash m/c
it has a broken drum spider and a damaged drum retainer. ( as the drum was moving outside of its normal orbit due to damaged spider ( cracked) it has worn part of the drum retainer
parts cost £80 machine is 5 years old and been stanfding unused for 18 months as dampness in case caused electrics to trip , probably due to damaged drum retainer.
should I dump it or fix it. Cheap m/s cost 180
another good machine =£300

This is Just a through go to the British Heart Foundation shop look at their machine's some are old models some are newer around your price range but the have all been checked and tested and ALL come with a 12 months warranty ticket.(not many people know that) If you can find a similar Hotpoint 63 you get to keep ALL the bits off yours for SPARES,(except spider and drum of course)
