Sadly my much beloved and much used machine has died and needs replacing.However its in a built in unit and i will need one the same size or smaller to fit in the gap.
Anyone any idea how wide this machine is (yes i can use a tape measure but would prefer manufacturers spec as their new machines will be built to the same measurements)

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Replacement washing machine size needs checking in person
- The problem
- The existing washing machine had failed and needed replacing, but it sat in a built-in unit so the replacement had to be the same size or smaller to fit the available gap. The question asked how wide the current machine was and whether manufacturer specifications could be relied on for matching dimensions.
- Likely cause
- No appliance fault diagnosis was discussed beyond the original machine having died. The thread focused on replacement sizing rather than repair.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to measure the available space and the appliance directly rather than relying solely on published manufacturer dimensions. It was noted that stated dimensions are unlikely to be larger than the real product, but actual measurements in store may differ slightly. No specific replacement model or exact dimensions were confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Measure the available gap in the built-in unit
- Measure the appliance directly
- Compare actual measurements with manufacturer specifications
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Tape measure

There's another thread just started where a member has the opposite problem in that he doesn't trust the manufacturer's specs. He found that they were different when he actually measured them in the store. The only reliable source is your own measurement - maybe some manufacturer's slightly over estimate sizes to be on the safe side. If a maunfacturer quotes a size it is highly unlikely to be even 1 mm higher but it could be a few mm's smaller. If one was even fractionally bigger then people would expect their money back if it didn't fit.
