Very nice! Hi Jon, Very nice indeed! I've sent you a private email as i'm keen to know more about these models here in Australia. I was under the impression these were not going to be sold here for a while. Are these domestic versions or the home style laundromat machines? Cheers Leon

Drain periods! YES: it's a VERY long drain period! My arm was getting sore pressing in that button all that time!

Components Hi Nick, Thanks for the link. As to if some of the components were US sourced, I can't honestly say, I'd have to check some of the components themselves. Nathan (Brisnat81) might have a better idea. I do know the Australian version has a transformer @dadoes: Yes, I think it...

Hi guys, Well: here's the video for the Aussie made WP 2299. It's been edited slightly and I haven't yet finished bypassing the lid switch so you'll my arm invade the video for spin. I also finished the video in the first spin before the 2nd rinse. Enjoy! Cheers Leon <iframe width="560"...

Great work Great work Jon. That's a lot of work you've done. Cheers Leon

Warm wash Warm wash is automatically pre-programmed into the 'Regular/Heavy' cycle. I've not tested the other cycles as yet: just the regular cycles with an extra rinse option. @washer111: from repairers that I've spoken to who worked on these machines, the touchpad controller used to give...

Hi guys, I recently acquired this Australian made Whirlpool 2299 fully Electronic control washer from 1979. It came from an estate sale and is in lovely condition: working very nicely too. This is the same machine that Dame Edna advertises in this old advert. Videos to come. Cheers Leon...

F & P Top loader's Further to what Nathan said, authorised F&P repair guys that I've spoken to like and rate the Top loader's highly, much more so than the front load machines being made out of China. The top loader's are made in Thailand. Cheers Leon

No WP washers Hi Steve Yep: no more WP washers for the Australian market. Cheers Leon

Hi Mike Hi Mike, Thanks for the kind words and glad to see 'Lisa' will have a new lease of life. You did a great job with the pump repair and hopefully you'll have no issues going forward. I'm pretty sure I might have a spare parts diagram you can have: once I get time i'll send it to you...

Looks a great time Looks just fantastic and looks like a great time was had by all! Cheers Leon

@dadoes LOVING the questions being thrown back at him Dadoes!   Cheers Leon

Yes.....gelaundry4ever Please tell us..... in your 22 years of being on this earth, what experiences have YOU had with Maytag Neptune?? For example, have you or your family ever owned a pair to form such negative opinions? I have a MAH 3000 and not had of the problems you described. PLEASE...

Wonderful segment Wonderful segment there Jon and everybody else! I do hope to meet you and others next year when David and I will be travelling to the US and Canada. Thanks so much for mentioning us down here in Oz too! Cheers Leon.

Fantastic! Hi Al and Mike! Looking absolutely fantastic! You've both done some great work. Congrats. Cheers Leon

Hi Kevin Thanks....got your email too. I did suspect it needs new bearings and I'll have a look at the fluid due too. Washer111: that sound is the pump, fluid drives traditionally make this sound when filling. Ben and others: will get pics of underneath the KW this arvo. And no worries on...

Video of the Speed Queen Here's the video of the SQ. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hi guys, Well, thought i'd show two recent acquisitions: a 1960s Speed Queen commercial Fluid Drive washer and KitchenAid KDS 17 DW. The Speed Queen came from a laundromat in Victoria: needs the cabinet re-sprayed and a bit noisy in spin, but otherwise works fine. You don't see many Fluid...

Looking good Looking good there Phil! Love the colour Cheers Leon
