Hi. Don't see many of us UK residents here very often which is a shame. Anyway, I think k from memory it has the later 5kg drum. Don't hold me to that though as my memory nowadays is awful. Come on people, this is a fantastic place of knowledge (and some opinions also 😉) which comes in very...

Speed Queen Horizon washing machine Well, after much ferreting around on the internet and the help of Servis Chris (Thank you 😁), it seems that a door lock is needed. Nearly had heart failure when I ordered one at the price. Can you believe it is £137 + VAT. That works out approximately £164...

Hi all! I'm somewhat out of my depth after buying a 1 year old Speed Queen Horizon washing machine which is faulty. Below is a series of pictures that show the error codes that come up on display. Machine will not do anything apart from cycle these codes. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi. I have the common Whirlpool solid door 30A American dryer. On my machine there is a small plastic tag on the machine case that the door hits into to tell the machine that the door is shut. If this tag isn't pushed in the machine won't run. Back a while I was pulling sheets out of the dryer...

Ah, it becomes clear now. Thank you for the information. I didn't realise there was several versions of it. Sounds like I have quite an early version winging its way towards me. Once it arrives I'll post some pictures of her before restoration starts.

Having just purchased a Hotpoint 18580 washing machine I realised it wasn't the model number I knew for that style machine. I always thought it was model number 18680, which was what I had previously. So, here is the question(s)! Are they the same machine (as they look)? Was the 18580 the...

Hello all. I thought I'd do a quick post to show a picture I caught earlier. We have recently sold our house and had to put our belongings in storage while we camp at my mother in laws house until our property purchase completes. Whilst there I have been using her Candy Smart machine. It was...

Hello to another South Coast Resident 😀 Welcome to this site that is brimming with knowledge, and on the whole a great bunch of people. Chris from the post above is a fellow 'ampshire dweller and a thoroughly nice chap.

Wow, she looks lovely! What's the plan for her, you keeping her or selling her off? Some pics of her in action would be fab.

There was a Philips Series 90 Slimstar in white on eBay last week. Was in good working order and looked in quite good shape. Not sure if it still about. . . .

Whilst trying to find the nappy isle in Waitrose earlier I accidentally went down the detergent isle and found these. Not seen them before, so picked some up to try. They do both bio and non bio versions.Anyone used them yet? What they like? I'll report back when I've put them.to the test.

Hi bobdisk. A picture of your Electron 800 would be fantastic of possible as there were a few variants of said title 😁

Mmm. Wouldn't load for me now either. Have uploaded them.using the old way. Cycle times can be altered by how dirty the clothes are (3 levels), then they machine will weigh and adjust cycle time after few minutes. It also cuts down the time as cycle progresses.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a modern machine to use daily as I feel that the poor A3110 is being overworked doing 4 - 5 loads a day upwards. That's no way to treat the poor old girl at 35 years old so she has been sidelined as an occasional toy. Against popular opinion here 😉 I...

Wow! That machine is a rare beast! I'll have look in my treasure in shed but don't think I've got stuff like that now. Have you tried Maplins and CPC? They'd be worth a look.Good luck in your search, keep us updated 😊

Just to chuck my thoughts into the mix. . . . I had a Whirlpool American T/L that seemed like a good idea last year with such a large family. It is a completely different way of washing than what we are used to. If you bung in something with a stain and set it to hot chances are it won't come...

Update: all working again. Have done about 10+ loads since yesterday and all good. Who would of thought a duff nib pump!

Forgot to mention I have spare pump here which I am also trying. Also, there seems to be 240v (well 237v) supplied to pump when turning on to a part of programme that needs pump.

Rats! Stopped pumping half way through cycle. Followed wires up to timer and no breaks, reads 0 ohms even jiggling wires. Checked all spade connections, wires up to and beyond heater back up to timer, again all OK. Checked heater resistance which is 22 ohms disconnected just in case as have had...
