00:00Hey there, Boots Owen here. Another day, another washing machine. I was in the

00:05middle of fixing a Henry and I got a piece of intelligence that there was one

00:09of these on the street just up the road from my house. On another street but just

00:12up the road from my house. So I took the trolley, the yellow trolley with the

00:17almost dead wheels. Completely perished, took it up the road, fetched the washing

00:25machine. Haven't seen one like it before. It's very thin. That's only about 18

00:30inches, maybe even less. Very thin machine. But still seems to be the same width.

00:39Quite a crust of soap there. Hmm. But overall quite clean, you know. It's got

00:45dirt on top probably because it was underneath the shelf or something like

00:48that. Overall quite clean. It's had a safety check done at some point but

00:53that's... It's completely rubbed off. Let's get rid of that. There's a bit of glue

00:59stuff there now. Lovely. WTG 620 M2W. Beko. 1-6 kilos. 1200 spin. A+++, which will be the

01:10old rating, which is probably like F nowadays. There's some instructions for

01:14you. Don't leave stuff hanging out. Put it in before you close the door. Okay. Plug it

01:20in. Plug it out. Do the filter down here. I've made a filter video already and the

01:25only treasure that was in it, but it did stop it turning, was this. I don't think

01:29it stopped the machine working, but it stopped the filter plug coming out easily.

01:32A little end of a wire. Must have been in someone's pocket. Overall it looks okay.

01:38Telltale sign is that the plug's been cut, which suggests there's something

01:42wrong with it. I don't know. I guess in a future video I'll do something with it.

01:47Here's the serial number. 19607218-09. That either means it was made in 2019 or 2009.

01:572009 makes it 13 years old, which is probably about right. 2019 makes it three

02:03years old, which... or four years old, which doesn't feel right. It could be four, but it

02:08seems crazy that a four-year-old machine would be thrown out. Like it's dusty, but

02:15that's probably from waiting somewhere before being put out. It might clean up.

02:20I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't want it. Could have an interesting fail. I

02:25don't know. Bearrings feel okay. Could be anything wrong with it. That's just a quick

02:34update for today. Manufactured by Arcelic in Turkey. I haven't seen that sticker

02:46before in paper. Cold only fill. I don't know what to say. Slimline machine. Very, very

02:52thin machine. I guess it's got a bigger drum though. You could put a brick in it. I should

02:58probably see if it's working first. Oh, I don't know with these things. Let me know

03:05what you think. Thanks for watching. See you later.
