    How old is my twin tub?

    Hey Matthew, thank you so much for the info. I will admit i do miss the auto rinse but its not much effort doing it manually. I was surprised to see that it has the spout over the spinner but no water shute attached in it. I guess they used generic parts then. I would love a T5090 to go with our...

    How old is my twin tub?

    Please could someone with the know date my Hoovermatic? Found in a very sorry state. I have sorted the spinner leak, changed the spinner motor and cleaned it within an inch of its life! Now running beautifully. Didn't think i was going to like the Non Deluxe model but can honestly say i dont...

    How easy is it to change spinner seal?

    Hi all. My Hoover twinie is leaking from underneath the spin can. It is very rusted, crumbling away and the seal is brittle. Does this mean I have to change the whole tub or is it possible to just change the seal? Is it an easy job? Any advice appreciated Thank you!

    Hoovermatic T5042

    Here's a pic of the spinarinse I intend to use to get it all working again. I understand this model will have the same motor. Please advise if I've got it wrong. Thanks for your help so far!

    Hoovermatic T5042

    Hi Hoovermad. yes, I have, ive had the interlock open and checked the mechanics, all seems ok i think. I did wonder if the microswitch is dead?? There is a spinarinse spin dryer near me on ebay, i was thinking that i could make a new spinner out of that, but think it may be a bit of a challenge...

    Hoovermatic T5042

    Hi all. I have been given this machine, and understand it is a rare one? The washer works but I just cannot get the spinner to go. It is completely dead. I have checked all wiring and brushes and they seem fine. I found the pressure switch for heater had perished its rubber, I fixed that but it...

    New Hotpoint 1504 toploader

    What a fantastic find! Lucky you. I would love one of these but I'm a stickler when it comes to the water bill! I'm sure its worth it though, have fun!

    Electrolux Inspire top loader

    I reluctantly had to sell my Brandt washer dryer top loader as the programs were just too long! What I did find as a replacement was this superb machine. Had the same model a few years ago before refurbishing the kitchen and I did miss it. So user friendly and the cotton and synthetic programs...

    the worst washing machine and tumble dryer you have owned

    We bought a brand new Indesit washer years ago and the pump was so noisy we sold it! It would gurgle and groan you could hear it over the spin. Worst dryer I think was a Bosch condenser. For a reverse tumble machine it changed direction about 2 or 3 times and that was it and it nearly always...

    My £5 bargain!

    The Brandt is a 1300 spin. Yes, dries well. The high heat is a bit vicious but I only use it to dry towels and iron dry jeans. I dry underwear and t shirts on half heat which is good. A 3kg load in about 145 which does seem long but they dont come out scorched and awfully creased! I also love...

    My £5 bargain!

    Hi Darren. Great pics. I nearly bought one of these last year, but the long programs put me off. A time saver button would have got me going to get it straight away. These are nice looking machines. I currently have a french Brandt top loader washer dryer. The only downside is that the programs...

    Servis Supertwin 108

    My mum had this machine. Went for years but finally went when she finally went automatic. The twinnie would be out all day twice a week. I remember you had to fill the spinner right to the top to rinse! Then I think it was a spin rinse until the water was clear? Was this from Ebay?

    Hoover spinarinse

    Thanks guys, its the same age as me then, 40 years old! I dont think you can get drain hoses for these anymore, ive seen people put a generic waste pipe on them. Mine does have the original hose although it has been shortened. The original fill hose also, but it was so brittle ive thrown it but...
