    Indesit? Hotpoint? Candy? I got it, but what is it?

    Candy without baffles Candy machines sold in SA (as Westpoint Candy) in the 70's were advertised as having an oval drum. This may have been the drum without baffles.

    My Indesit L8 My Indesit L8LI from 1979 is still going strong after 35 years! Although the Samsung TL is my main driver,I use the L8 about once a month,just to watch the spin drain. As SA was 220v in those days we had the Italian versions.

    Who's going to be the first to buy it? Daewoo DWD-M301WP

    "Sterilization washing by boiling water (80C)" Since when does water boil at 80C? It's allways been 100C at sea level or +/- 96C depnding on altitude.

    What happened to toilet paper?

    We've had this in SA for years. Keep in mind that a sheet of TP is square and so the height as well as the width decreases. The new trick with TP is doing away with the dotted line, so that it tears off raggedly and paper are wasted!

    Sour smelling laundry...

    Load it, leave it & live a little This smell occurs if the laundry is left in the machine once the cycle has finished. It only becomes apparent after wearing for an hour or two. In the 60's & 70's SKIP ran the "load it, leave it & live a little" ads, encouraging people to buy auto machines...

    Gas refrigerators....

    plugged with ammonia chrystals Absorbtion fridges must be level so that the flame is vertical. The crystals form from standing. If the fridge is not working, we put it on a truck & take it for a drive down the roughest track we can find & let the fridge bounce around. Another trick is to turn...

    Gas refrigerators....

    Bar Fridge My bar fridge is a 165 litre Gas fridge from a Sprite caravan. I helped one of my staff remove it & got it as a freebee. It takes about 8 hours on AC & 3 hours on gas to produce ice from initial start-up. The freezer box is a 4 star freezer, unlike the AC bar fridges which, at best...

    What Was YOUR First Dishwasher

    An Indesit 2116 that I had from 1985 until 2006. I still think that it cleaned better than the Bosch that replaced it.

    What was YOUR first washing machine?

    AN early 70's GE 660 FL which I got for free. This was a 6.6 kg washer with console on top at the back. The bearings were shot, so the noise on spin was heard throughout the house. As it only spun at the end of the cycle, I used that as an end of cycle buzzer! The door boot had a hole at the...

    Where is the strangest place you have seen someone's washing machine?

    My Samsung TL & Dryer are in the kitchen, while the Indesit L8 is in the BBQ room. A bit of the BBQ can be seen tom the left of the pic.

    Washing Machine Drainage

    Espace+Extra+Flat This flat trap works extremely well. I installed it in 2010. I had to knock a new hole through the wall as the outlet is offset from the sink drain. I see that the one in the link @ GBP4.73 is for a single bowl sink. I paid ZAR199 +/- GBP18 for the double bowl version.

    Time to buy a new printer.

    A laser printer makes an excellent laminator! Place the document in its sleeve, drop in the printer & open up a blank MS Word document. Hit print and the heat sets the laminate. I usually turn the sleeve over & redo the print.

    Indesit Spin Drain The Indesit spin drain machines have the drain hose routed inside the machine & exit at the top to ensure that the water can't syphon out in wash mode. My daily driver, a 1979 Indesit L8LI speeds up as the water drains out. It has a long spin (+/- 7 min) after the main wash...

    Lint filter These machines are washer-dryers. The dryer lint filter is at the top left on the rear. The wheels enable one to pull the machine out to clean the lint filter.

    Enameled washer outer tub help.

    Enamel Repair Mathew Take a look at this pic of my Indesit 092. I gave the area a light sanding, treated it with Kurust and finished off with Pratley's Putty. I then sanded the putty to the shape of the drum. You can then apply some Hammerite, although I never bother with that.

    My "new" INDESIT

    Just like mine I have the same machine, an Indesit L8LI, but it's from 1979 and thus only 32 years old. I paid 10 Euro for it, but replaced the pump housing (14 Euro)as the seal was leaking. Seals are not available separately.
