Hi Chestermikeuk Our uk Jetamatic did have a heater [the biggest one i have ever seen on a washing machine ] The american version didn't [not a good idea when you only have 110 volts to play with ]The later Frigidaire TT was indeed a Phillips clone but i am not sure about the earlier model of...

the Frigidaire brochure nice to see those machines again .Haven't seen a jetamatic in 40 years nice machine .we once got the American version in for repair [imported by a doctor ]I went to a large rambling house on the outskirts of Middlesbrough to collect it .Once in the house we were taken to...

The frigidaire twin tub totally bored out of my mind this morning i turned on the Tv 9AM [bbc2]They are showing reruns of Bless This house from the early 70s .I was enthralled to see Mrs Abbot [Dianna Coupland doing the washing in a Frigiaire mastertwin [the earlier model ]

hoover 5090 yes i know its relative youngster compared to some of the machines here but we have had it since new .its been in constant use for the last year while doing the house up and has performed faultlessly every time. i have managed to get the knobs off and have straightened the panel...

The frigidaire twin tub Hi Mike that Phillips Tt is rather nice looking much neater than the Frigidaire version .When i worked for HCT [some 45 years ago now ] i worked on mainly Frigidaire and Hoover machines sometimes there would be the odd Hotpoint. That earlier Frigidaire TT in post 6919...

The frigidaire twin tub had a few inherent faults .the washer lid had a plastic hinge that snapped after a few weeks use .the flimsy knobs broke easily [when going out to repair one of these i would often find a pair of pliers inside for switching on when the knobs had broken ,When asking the...

just to add The earlier cream version i am sure had red rubber trim around the bottom and the lid along with a red spout and no timer the rubber spin mat was also red .The master twin spin assembly was indeed the same [a bugger getting the spin can off i can remember bashing away at the centre...

Hi Mike I worked for Frigidaire back in the early 70s .Repaired loads of those spinners .There was an even older version .Identical in every way but in a cream colour.If i remember correctly it came out around 1958/9 .I am sure i have a service manual somewhere with a colour photo on the front...

I remember as a small boy my mother getting one of these machines [it was second hand]in the very early 60s .After washing for two small children with a dolly tub in the back yard that little machine was a godsend The machine stood next to the sink and never needed to be moved because it could...

there was an English electric version of that frigidaire twintub it was mechanicaly identical .Also the little round fridgidaire spin dryer was not water tight .it had a rubber collar about 2 inches high consequently if you poured too much water into it it would come pouring out the bottom.can...

so glad this got saved

its interesting to note that the Hotpoint top loader will only take 1LB wash load more than the front loaders

Hi chestermikeuk back then i was only 16 and still living at home .My mum wouldn't have looked twice at any of those machines she loved her hoover twin tub [A wash dog]
