...which is here... https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?90798 (and link below) I've been away a great deal but in between have been managing with a spin dryer - but it's really not ideal! And also wondering if @servischris is around? We had been corresponding by...

Thanks to everybody! Thanks all - yes, Chris and I have been in touch and we're currently talking about this. @chestermikeuk - thanks for your points. It was interesting that you said "having a vintage washer used as a daily driver does require a small amount of regular maintenance" - until I...

Yoo-hoo - is anybody there?? I can't believe that nobody can help me with this?! :-o

My new project - ask all the manufacturers! Thanks to everybody for all their replies - they certainly got me thinking and looking around. In the end, I decided to just sit down and email all the manufacturers who supply washing machines to the UK (and some suppliers) to try and get an...

My grand old lady is suffering again, and before I call out my man (who I'm sure secretly hates me) I'm turning to you guys for advice again. I have a 30-year old Hoover Logic 1000 which I love and adore, and is normally brilliant - apart from the odd glitch here and there. (The last glitch...

@gizmo Thanks very much for all this. "I find the hot fill is very valuable and I wouldn't want a washer without it" - I'm right with you there! :) Looking in showrooms is an unhappy experience as a rule - "If it has two inlet fittings, it will be hot and cold fill" can also mean than the...

For what it's worth, this year Mumsnet voted Ariel Original washing powder the best one of all time. :) And the GHI (Good Housekeeping Institute) say "powdered laundry detergent is almost always the best at removing stains". I 'make' my own washing powder - one third Formil (I'm working my way...

I'm interested to know because I've seen so many conflicting stories about such machines. People publish lists online that I then go through, only to find that not one is actually a hot fill. Then I read more stories about how some machines have a hot fill fitting but "they don't use it" (this...

I've just bought a good drip tray for my leaky old washing machine - I've been looking for ages for one that has four sides rather than three (not much use really?). It's called a Xavax 23111372 Drip Tray, and it's available from a company called Boxed2me or Curry's. The price at Curry's is...

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the spin speed is of a WMA31, please. (The manual only seems to say 'Fast' and 'Slow", but not the actual speed.) I know that the WMA32 and WMA33 models have a variable spin speed dial, but the WMA31 doesn't seem to. Please forgive me if I'm missing...

Chris... ...I've just emailed you.

Thanks, Chris and Gary! Hi Chris and Gary - I didn't see your replies before replying to the other one! Chris - I would be ecstatic with joy if you were to have the right timer! :-) (Part numbers and pic above.) I'm on the Hants/Surrey border - I could come and collect if you weren't too...

Hi Mike Thank you very much for your help. (I asked my engineer about the brushes - he said he's checked them!) I've spent all day sending out enquiries about the timer - all to no avail, I suspect... :-/ (Also enquiries about repairing my existing one.) I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but...

I've had my Hoover Logic 1000 from new, and I've had very little trouble with it. So far I've been able to get parts for it, but the timer is proving almost impossible to find. My service engineer and I are spending hours online, but I'm rather disgusted to see people advertising these as...
