I've always been a fan of Bio-Zet powder. It cleans well and has a light, soft fragrance unlike the vast majority of powders out there today.

In 1950, a Mixmaster sold for 39.50 I find that amazing.   The mixmaster was the equivalent of 6 weeks wages when production started in Australia in 1948....Average wages were equivalent to AUD $21.80. So that's well north of AUD$120 or 3 times the cost of the same machine in the US.  ...

I'm from Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, or A.C.T.   We're a rather young city having been named in 1913, but there was nothing here until about 1928 when they finally opened a temporary Parliament House. So temporary it lasted until 1988 - well past it's sell by date. It's now...

It may say Frigidaire, but I reckon it's actually based on the UK Hotpoint top load machines.

I've put my money where my mouth it So after 8 years and a lot of washing we've had to buy a new machine. The poor Westinghouse/Zanussi/Electrolux has finally had enough and the motor died. Have tried in vain to get carbon brushes easily (note the 'easily') here, but can't and a new motor was...

Beko quality has improved dramatically since they bought Blomberg in 2002. Starting with their more expensive machines and gradually progressing down the range.   I personally think the mid and higher end are not only good quality machines from a build perspective, they also wash well and have...

People in Oz have avoided using the chemicals en mass....several of them may neutralise the odour, but they are from the same family as formaldehyde....   The use of Napisan or cheaper version assists breakdown whilst also neutralising odours, making it much more environmentally friendly to...

I've never had an issue with Bio-Zet in a front load machine at all.....and Canberra has soft water.   It cleans very well, particularly in warm water, and has a light fragrance.

Well done! We had one of those in this house when we moved in....I know they were a quality appliance, but this one hadn't been looked after.   It was ditched within 6 months....and a 5 burner 3' gas hob installed.

Drive strives for total CLEAN!

Larger pictures would help......but I do remember the Calgon  

Ask them when they notice the leak. If it isn't until just before the end of the cycle and isn't a huge puddle, then it could be the small hose that feeds into the fabric conditioner 'cup' which rests at the front of the drawer. These hoses can split with age, my mothers certainly did on her...

I'm going to suggest That you think carefully about how many loads of washing you put through the machine.   My own experiences are that we tend to generate 5 loads a week in this 2 person house hold.   - whites - lights - darks (alternate week) - towels - bedding - dog bedding...

I am talking about real full sized washers.... <a name="start_42977.728881"> .....which by definition would be at least 27" wide</a>     Only in America. Everywhere else, a front load washer would be considered 'normal' at 24"/60cm. The term 'full sized' wouldn't even come into the...

Hello Ian ...and welcome! Given the age of the machine there are several things that could be causing the water leakage: - You may have a split door boot. This need not be a large split to let lots out either. - one of the inlet hoses to the detergent drawer could be split - the sump hose...

I'm so jealous of that Braun mixer. I believe that the orange mark is a 'pulse'

...and here's ...the manual. http://www.manualslib.com/download/2621/Aeg-Ko-Lavamat-88830.html

Ian Seems that is the wrong one.... C6 appears to be the pressure switch. http://www.fixya.com/support/t8694011-c6_error_oko_lavamat
