Stephan says thank you Chris! He already had a suspicion there would be a seal behind the plate. He will continue working on the Keymatic. If everything comes together he will post a video. He’s also working on a second one, that machine’s bearings are totally gone. BTW, here’s Stephan’s...

My German friend Stephan is repairing the Keymatic I once owned. He has a question about it. Because his English is not to good he asked me to start this thread. His question is if the seal in the picture is the only one. Or is there a second seal behind the part where the impeller goes on...

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! That’s a Scharpf spin dryer 🥰 a German quality product! There’s a bit more about Scharpf in this thread https://automaticwasher.org/threads/british-twintub-washing-machines-1959-1990.82352/page-6#post-1066267

I really hope they didn’t turn on the agitator while the boy was in that washer. Forever ruined family jewels lol

Thank you Alan!

Hi Pete, We have those too. They are very expensive, around 1700 euros. That’ll a lot of money for something I would use only a few days per year. I already had this unit. A neighbour/friend made the insert, the material was 25 euros, The disadvantage of those portable split units is that the...

I wish I had bought this portable air conditioner. The in- and outlet can be interchanged. The air conditioner could have been put outside on the balcony with only the cold air blown in. Less noise and no space lost.

I love my sliding door. I have it open as much as possible. Today is just the day for it.

I have thought about building a tower of fans to be put in the sliding door to my balcony. In the summer months I have a panel to put in there with an opening to put the air conditioner hose on. I used it only twice this summer. With the mild climate overhere natural ventilation is the best...
