Following on from the Tumble Dryer disaster, our washing machine has broken down too. Hardly worth fixing, since the local repair bloke will want something like 1000kr just to look at it, before he even starts with repairs.
Unlike the Tumble Dryer, we happen to have one in reserve (long story), although it has hot and cold fill, so we need some new plumbing accessories.
and now to the shopping bit...spares are a ridiculous price here. A washing machine fill hose is 165 krone (£15), and I can't even find one of those self-tapping washing machine plumbing units you can screw onto the pipe, even though I've measured it up and it's the same 15mm copper as back in the UK! Bottom line - expensive.
A browse around on Ebay solved our problem. There are many UK sellers willing to ship to Denmark for little more than the UK price. So I bought a washing machine hose for £3.85 including postage, and an adapter for £9.53, including postage. So less than one hose at Hjem n Fix. (and it arrived from the UK in 2 days!)
The moral of the story is that there is no need to pay the high Danish prices for anything any more. So please don't do it.
