Brandt Statomatic 416 door opened.

Very nice machine, I love that sky blue color.

Hello, I also love vintage hifi, I have a lot of decks including some Sony (TC-K777, 750ES, 808ES, 870ES, A6ES...) and several high end cassettes. The TC-K620 is a very nice deck, just below the ES series. It shares the same mechanism chassis of the ES decks but with a different capstan drive...

I'll never get any Beko anymore ! My sister had several issues with her Beko dishwasher: - The detergent dispenser leaked and has corroded the door due to a manufacturing defect, the plastic of the detergent dispenser were badly welded making an intermittent detergent leak when full ! - The...

Thanks, I don't think they made a machine with a spin speed of more than 500rpm in that era. However the next series (totally different chassis, more annoying to service) had 800rpm machines (with a Sachs clutch motor and even a drying function !) and in the 80's they also made machines with...

Yes, the counter weights are cast iron, that's more solid than Bouygues concrete ! It spins at 500rpm. Some photos of the timer and the selector switches:

After some minutes of washing the water inlet hose has started to leak ! Luckily I was next to the machine when it happened ! I installed a new one and the cycle has continued without problems, except a small leak at the overflow outlet hose (I didn't put enough glue !)

Well it has the usual issues for a (low use) 1976 machine, leaks at the detergent dispenser hose and the overflow outlet hose, electric plug's prongs were a bit oxidized. That machine is very well designed, the panels are easy to disassemble for service and allows a great access to the motor...

Thanks for you comments. These machines are made by Thomson like some Frigidaire of the same era. The Frigéavia machines were branded Giravia in the past (that's why the model numbers of these machines starts by a G). Here is some photos of the lid open: The softener dispenser can be emptied...

Hi, here is my new toy, a very nice 1976 Frigéavia G31 washing machine. More pictures soon.

Yes, looks like an IBMEI motor, maybe for a Zanussi.

Very nice machine !

Hi, sorry for the late, I don't go often here. Here is the technical documentation of the L6SI & L6SFL and some other models from the same era:

Hello and welcome to the forum. I have the diagrams of the L6SI and the L6SFL, I guess it's close to the L6. It's always nice to find a new old stock timer.

Hi, I have the same issue on my FL812, but it's still quiet and doesn't leak.
