bits sorry I have not got any fascias at all now

To Save Or Not I used to get this a lot when I was working with various machines that came in. The workings bar the programmer are all standard issue 1100 parts, so I would save them, I would also save the programmer and door oh and have a look at the rear wheels they are rubber if they are...

Good looking machine: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ONE-VERY-NICE-HOOVER-ELECTRON-800-DE-LUXE-WASHING-MACHINE-/391338263076? I do not live far from St Austell so can pick this up if some one wants it, but I can only store it in the back of my car Gary

Brandon you have only to ask This lives in Cardiff along with a 3060 and a 3062 plus a few other rare machines

old eyes I think you will have to wait for Al he seems to have a complete encyclopedia for appliances in his head :-) I agree about the twinny bit Gary Ps she looks as if she might be getting it on the never never

YEAH! Well done Mike I hope you enjoy this excellent machine, now to get the next :-)............ Gary

:-( This is terrible news, I am so so sorry for both of you and your machines and anyone else who got caught up in this terrible event. I am glad you two have survived I can only wish you both well for the future Gary

The suburbs Argghhh these films are just magic to watch :-) washing in that twin tub is so simple and quick...........you wouldn't want to film the working class women boiling up there husbands shreddies that only got changed once a month on the cooker now would you. Much better to use the...

Creaky back The filters are easy to extract and put in providing your back isn't like mine (stiff) it is because of this that I made the comment, other wise they are easy to get to. I too think Hotpoint moved the filter before Hoover did, unfortunately Hotpoint also changed to plastic drums on...

Hoover Dryers The ealier Hoover dryers were non pressurised, a fan at the back of the drum draws air through the rear mounted filter which is then drawn over the heating coils, simple but effective. Then Hoover moved onto the pressurised cabinet, the cabinet is basically sealed so that air is...

Strange They sort of imply that bleaching agents are used but are foggy about it all, and then mentioning "bleachable stains" really throws the baby out with the bath water. Whilst I don't use either of these products I do watch there developments along the way. It just makes me think same...

Clear Hello Louis I like your approach to this and your observations too. It is just like Which Reports etc they only apply to local so to speak machines. So if this research unit found that German machines of the time were uneconomical and did not wash/rinse well, then it is clearer to me...

Dropping It Oh I totally agree about the 90s machines, peoples skin fell off and were eaten alive by enzymes due to the new "eco" wash/rinse levels imposed on us in Europe and eventually the rest of the world. Use Of Machine "oh yes it will wash 11kg etc etc" you go and see it and is 1/4...

Numbers Hello You will need to know what model of machine yours is first, it will be on a small plate at the back of the machine near the bottom. Also if you can disconnect it from the mains, take off the lid and look at the timer it will have a set of numbers on it those will tell you...

hmmm its that stale Viota sponge again :-) Mike I have to say I agree with you in some ways, our front loaders were so very good from the start that as you say we became accustomed to the high level performance they gave. As you know my experience of 3 modern washers was not good and I was...

Detergent loss The only time I have seen such an issue is with very old (1960s) machines where the water inlet for the tub is almost at the bottom of the tub only inches away from the outlet, under these circumstances I can see that powders etc could be flushed into the outlet, but even if this...

Water Costs Where I live in this country we pay the highest water charges in the country, basically because South West Water are an inefficient money grabbing company who,s only interest is profit at any cost..................any way enough of that. When I installed my water guzzling Hoover...

Uses For Useless Junk Hmm would make a handy washroom Urinal Gary

Infinite Soak Time The very first Hoover computer control 1100 had a special mixed wash program, where by it would tumble and heat the clothes to 40o and then stop and tumble the load once an hour until you selected one of the rinse cycles. So you could leave your items in soak overnight and...

Pressure Door Locks There are also door locks that will not allow the user to open the door if the water level is above the door, this is achieved by air pressure acting on the door switch mechanism. The only way you can get round this to drain water via the outlet hose until the water level...
