The fan on this machine is not working, is vey noisy and laboured and leaks water all over the floor when opening at the end of a programme. It is free-standing, and has quite a few screws on the inside door. Is it safe to take the door off, will it disturb anything else--- I have been quoted £250 to replace the fan!!! apart from that, the machine is fine ----help!!!
