ooops...tooo fast I was... Wanted to add somthing concerning the excommunication! Just had a short telephone call with the pope, he says, he's not going to excommunicate you for that reason - yet not enough dirty laundry done for that here, and too much spotless cleaniness here, too...

mielabor Hi Theo! Interesting how close the languages are, isn't it? It works perfectly in Dutch as well with the slogan! Our Bauknecht had still glass-door with chrome frame. And it had a rubber bellow-seal between tub and cabinet which once broke and leaked - I remember now! - and had to be...

my mother's first washer ...was a BAUKNECHT front-loader WA 565 - as far as I remember - with the switches for temperature and cycle at the rear top as well as the detergent compartment... (a real Bauknecht one was that, as nowadays it's only Whirlpool crab!) Bauknecht was well known in the...

mielabor Oh my Gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a mess! We had that kind of "experience" when that bloody PHILIPPS TL washer had rusted through and all the water ran onto the kitchen-floor while we were sitting on the balcony enjoying a nice cup of vanilla ice-cream with strawberries! When...

mielabor Hi Theo! The only thing I remember is, that the machine in our house had only two compartments, so maybe this one's one of the end of this product line? But I never found any machine in Germany with a compartment for bleach in it... Well, that is not correct to say so, but these...

mieleW4840 Here in Leverkusen-Opladen we have a laundrette where I sometimes bring some work-cloths to be washed for our company. The owner bought already two of these machines and is absolutely content with them! Ralf

funguy10 You asked what TROMM could mean? Well, maybe it is just a hint to the drum. Trommel in German means drum and as LG also produces TLs with agitators/pulsators for the American and Asian market it could be a hint to the drum machine type...!? Ralf

comments... Mieleabor: Yes, as I had written above: in COMMERCIAL machines chlorine bleach is more often used than in household machines. BTW, I'm an alien here in my whole circle of acquaintances as I use chlorine bleach (Dan Chlorix or Eau de Javelle) on bad stains sometimes as frequently as...

no pump Yes, as far as I can see this machine has NO pump - because in commercial machines there were no pumps necessary, as they have floor-drainage with tubes that go directely into the sewage. They have a valve that opens with a clank and the water rushes down the drain... (Much faster than...

Bleach-dispenser - two inlet-hoses Hi Mielabor! Yes, THIS machine has two connections for hot and cold water - that is because it is a commercial washer. In laundrettes there are usually machines with hot-water filling to shorten the total wash-time for the convenience of the clients, but...

Sorry... Sorry - just saw it has only FOUR rinse cycles! So it's defenitely a commercial washer as the household machines had five! Ralf

Miele Hi to all of you from Germany! I can remember very well sitting hours in front of this generation of machines as we had this type in our laundry room in the basement when I was about 4-6 years old (lasted until I was over 20 and was then replaced by a newer, more modern one which still...

Krups It's always the same - and we had it here named and discussed a thousand times... KRUPS was once a small but very well reputated company/brand in Germany until....it was taken over by a foreign company... Same with ROWENTA (I have old coffee-makers and my mom's iron lasted well over 45...

"Only MIELE, MIELE!!", said Aunty who knows everything about all washers! Still the best washer in Europe available!! Ralf

Foam residues Hi Carl! Thing is actually that nowadays we have powders without STPP which means more tensides in the detergents as STPP is not only a water softening agent but also a kind of "cleaner" like soap and other tensides, too. Also the "modern" water softeners are precepitating ones...

Happy birthday ...from over the big pond! Ralf

lol Honi soit, qui mal y pense!! But...not too bad actually....lol!!!!!

Slut Yes, as Danish is a Germanic language, too, it means the same as the German word 'Schluß/Schluss' (both ways are possible). 'Slut' has to be pronounced 'sloot' and so sounds already a bit like the German word 'Schluß/Schluss' which is pronounced 'shlooss'. Both mean 'End'. Cheers, Ralf

Who's gonna save this precious twinny? That's teh one I've got in my laundry room - a machine a very seldom to be found! Guess it's a 3301L! Ralf http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hoovermatic-twin-tub-washer-dryer_W0QQitemZ290141717989QQihZ019QQcategoryZ71257QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi MIke, hi David! Thanks a lot for your help! I will try twin-tub man at Ebay because I have his phone-number (hope to get a new Hotpoint TT from him once I will have organized a transport which is unexpectedly difficult, you wouldn't believe it, as mine is leaking at the spinner bellow seal...
