have a look At mikes video on youtube, 3226 keymatic at about 48seconds in, this shows the full level, though you can't see the pulsator, you can see the tub has dropped back and that the pulsator would be submerged.

Hi Ricky sorry for the delay and the quick response now, but been away then int work and now just off out again, so just quick reply. yes when full the water is just over the pulsator and just under lip of the door opening. but before you try adjusting the screws, check the hoses on the...

Great work Rob I will check if I have any seal retainers that are better than those you have. And that door seal was indeed a great find, I've not thought to nor not even tried to find a genuine seal with hotpoint on it. Otherwise I've used parts I've had to hand or bought when they've been on...

welcome Malachy We had this machine, bought in November 1979, it was £179 from the co op department store in Cardiff, back in the 70's inflation and interest rates were high and mum has told me how you didn't buy anything you didn't need, we had several years without a machine at all, so we...

Hi rob Yes I'm bound to have a couple, so you are welcome to have one. We can email directly to organise postage etc Mathew

Thanks Rob Yes it's more or less immediate use, at least for the tub, it doesn't matter which bearing type, though I have spare parts for the taper roller type, this will hopefully save me some time as I can swap out the complete drum in the owners house, rather than have to carry out opening...

Great skeggy That saves me a good paragraph of bumbled explaining lol. Great to read its working as it should. On your other thread of powders, I agree with the others and use low lather powders, both for the low lather and easy rinsing but also you see far more wash action than when the wash...

Thanks Rob for the offer of the drum/tub etc. If you feel you may need them in the future, I quite understand and perhaps you should hang onto them. I have two machines in mind for these parts, one for a friend whose machine requires the drum and backplate and another the outer drum, so once...

Hi Mike Yes the door latch is easily removed, but remember om this machine the plastic moulding that supports the pivot between the rod and the button on the panel is broken. I do remember there being a repair kit on ebay some months back, and I have also made up a repair from some box steel...

Hi Triunphtoledo yes a shame you've had no interest in the whole machine. I have 2 of this series, so really ought not to take on another. But if it is to be parted out, I would certainly be interested in the drum, backplate and outer tub, if that is available. In terms of collection, I would...

Great to see some of your machines Keith, they look `just out of the showroom' in the sunshine, great to that you could give them a run to. Mathew

Hi Twintubber, just some observations from my experience in the UK, I'm not being critical and as laundress has said, all groups change and time moves on. Most of the UK members are on facebook and seem to keep in touch with one another on there own forums there, I just haven't the time for...

Anthony I've done exactly the same as you, with the tap washers and some silicone grease. though not tried the insulation foam. I assume the spinner doesn't scream whilst emptying as it's going slightly slower due to a greater load on the pump, does the spinner speed up more noticeably at the...

great machine you've got there James. And a rapid advance timer too, looks much more advanced than the lt in the timer design and layout at least. And 3 cheers, that they put the extra clutch in to the blower drive, the noise of that running through the whole wash cycle I found needlessly...

Hi Anthony well I don't think it is a fault, but an intentional part of the pump design. when you look at the holes into the valve chamber, the hole from the washtub is smaller than that from the spinner even though the hose connections are the same size. I suspect this is to slow the flow of...

I agree something isn't as free running as it might be, when coasting down from spin speed the drum is in effect free wheeling so shouldn't be coming to rest so abruptly, how does the drum seem when spun clockwise by hand, (with the brake off) it should be really free, as in effect the pulleys...

Great news Mike the oil goes on the bearings of the shaded pole motor, I think the side your hand is on the photo, you'll see a small gear that travels out of the timer against a spring and meshes into a 2nd gear that indexes the timer. You'll see it, So has it now returned to 0. Enjoy your...

The power of advertising Well done on this one Mike, and as several members here have proved, it's surprising what is still out there if you pop an advert up. Firstly sorry for the late reply, if only the computer was as reliable as my old hoover 1100, I'd have chipped in before. I agree the...

Another step forward Richard, those brass valves look as solid as the rest of the machine, such a shame we can't get spare washers. mathew

oh and forgot, Richard, sorry it's off topic, but whilst I remember did you get the valves for your mums washer, the daft thing is I actually had some in my bag of bits, whilst we were looking at the keymatic, if you need any other parts for her machine do ask, I've certainly got new door...
