Dirty for years I am puzzled, I have the impression that America washed its clothes in centre post machines for about 40-50 years, now FL machines are making inroads into your country, am I to assume that Americans walked around in grubby clothes for all those years? I think this because of the...

Hoover A3190 Hello and welcome I have a the first Electron which was the A3190, Mathew from Cardiff has an A3060 which was the first Hoover 1100 spin machine. I have used mine as a daily driver for a bit over 2.5 years now and love it, they require basic maintenance from time to time, most...

This is the Servis machine Gary refers to Well spotted Rob, yes that's the pile of shite............urrchhh makes me shiver, I even modified the thermostat so it would do a 40o cottons wash.........bloody thing :-(

Excellent Well done James on bringing this lovely machine up again, this series of Hotpoints are my favourite machine by them, as you say simple but well engineered and very purposeful. I hope it is a real pleasure for you BTW I would have the rubber hose into the sink its great to see what...

What Servis model was that @ Liberatordeluxe I cannot remember the model number, I remember the programs were printed onto the top edge of the control panel it had 3 buttons and the program knob. Old Servis machines were great, but this had nothing to do with them only the name. Gary

Spin Such a neat well thought out machine, congratulations on getting one in good order. Gary

CHEAP! How Very Dare You! I see that heart condition you got hasn't affected your Tongue! Just coz you got half a packet of Persil from the foodbank it don't make you posh you know. Grattans?.... Mike I thought Jon got turned down on account of his shop lifting record. Ere John whilst you...

Skervis about 15 years ago I was living in a rented place and they bought a new Servis (sorry chestermike), it was an 800 spin pile of shite, it didn't have a 40o cottons wash on it, only a 50o the wash was useless, the rinsing was even worse, super low water levels still took hours to do a...

Christmas Suprise Hello Jon and Mike I remember Jon winning that machine as Kays top selling Christmas Hamper agent, he must have shifted a load of them to have won that, but hey well done you can do your hair in the reflective chrome whilst doing a wash ;-) Gary

I just wish I could wave a magic wand at it to level it off That comment for me has summed up your whole approach to this problem, you are not the only person on here that has a machine under a fixed work top, if pulling it out and putting it back is such a problem then wet the floor where the...

hiding for nothing I don't think anyone is getting at you. Unless you can improvise and level the machine you cannot make a decision, there are not always easy fixes for this type of problem and to expect us on here to come up with a simple black and white answer is unrealistic given that we...

noise the pulley is not loose on the shaft is it? they can sometimes wear where they go on the end of tub shaft,they can make a knock sound when the motor rotates the drum because of play. Do you know if this machine has the original taper bearings or does it have the later ball bearings as...

Not bad condition, not sure whats going on with the soap draw fascia, bit high on starting price. Good machines though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hoover-Electron-Washing-Machine-/281653456989?

Hoover I think provided you are prepared to service the machine, suspension kit, possibly motor brushes, check for play on the drum bearings etc, they make an excellent daily driver there are two of us on here that use these type of machines as daily drivers with no complaints. we can help you...

Technology I don't think it is the technology you should worry about with indesit, more the build quality and remember that Hotpoint machines come out of the same factory as Indesit. Buyer Beware

Lateral Thinking Great Darren! this jets business with you has a times I think been all consuming, and here you are resolving a problem effectively with the minimum of fuss. is as if bosch left the tube there budding DIY buffs :-) I remember the Hoover AL-150 I had was awful for getting a full...

Star Prize Hello James yet again you have turned up a great machine (my favourite Hotpoint)..........you will have to have your best thinking cap on to sort out the few problems with this one, if you have snapped the bolts and do get them out replace them with Stainless Steel ones. Once you get...

How Much Energy Hello Mark Probably less than I wrote, as I went for a conservative estimate, I just basically worked it out on the basis that the heater was on for the full hour, though of course it isn't due to cool down time and the heater cycling on and off. So to me it is inexpensive to...

dryer times 4.5Kg cottons, rugby tops, jeans, t-shirts, sweat tops spun at 1100, matching Hoover dryer set to low heat, 60 minutes including 10 minute cool down. Machine heater is a 2.4Kw High or low heat setting, the heater cycles on and off once the selected drying temperature has been...
