Before you think about throwing away your broken washing machine, wonky dishwasher or non-performing oven – or even calling out a service engineer - think about mending it yourself. It’s amazing just how many things you can fix – as long as you have the right spare part and just a little bit of know-how. Plus, we’ve got some great videos showing you how – see below.
