Hi both, ok thanks. Hi Nigel, OK, I'll try and check that. This tacho generator, would it cause the motor to stop completely? Is there any way I can up load a video I took, so that you can see exactly how it is behaving? Many thanks.

Hi there, My sister's 21 year old (she says she bought it in Dec 1998, but can't find the receipt) washing machine has finally shown its FIRST fault. It's a ELECTROLUX Premier 1000E. And it still looks as good as new. However, it just developed the following fault, that I'll decribe as...

Hi Paul, It's amazing to think that this is so rare. All the time it was sitting in my kitchen, it never occured to me that it was of interest to anyone excpept me, and for as long as I could get spares for it and keep it going, I had no reason to replace it. If I'd have known of a source for...

Makes me smile. I know every sound it makes. Superb James. Yep I’m pleased you bought it. I’m pleased I was able to sell it, rather than take it down to the council tip and scrap it, for that was what would have happened if I hadn’t stumbled on this website. Here's how it looked just prior to...

On it's way. On it's way to the Emerald Isle. The next post on this Creda 1000 10700, will be written by the new owner.

Creda motor. Hi Optima, What is the disadvantage of a "standard" hotpoint motor? You say it's a shame, so can I assume it's inferior to a Creda motor, or some other version of the hotpoint motor?

Creda 10700, Sold, subject to collection. Hi Mike, The Creda has been sold, subject to collection, which should be next tuesday. No doubt you'll hear about it when it arrives at it's new home. :)

Update to my earlier comments, RE: Creda 1000 10700. Just to update this. Not posted as have been somewhat unwell, with the first dose of flu that has made me stay in bed for over a week since I was a kid. Anyway, I now have a new Meile installed to replace my Creda 1000 10700. Which now ready...

Hi Paul, Thanks for all that information. I looked at the rear of the user instructions that came with the 10700, and it says 1979, but of course they may not have revised the instructions after that. But as it happens, after speaking to my uncle, I know my Grandfather died in 1978, and left...

Drain holes. And here's another question about the drain holes from the bearings. Where is the water supposed to go when it runs down the back of the drum casing. Now I understand why there is a slanted 'gutter' over the motor.

Thanks for posting those Paul. You've prompted a couple more questions from me. The advert for the 10700 says "Hot and Cold fill" . I lost my installation instructions, and have never found out how to rewire it for cold fill only. It hasn't mattered much as I simply used a 'Y' piece from a...

Thanks James. That explains it then. :)

Bored with new years celebrations, I've seen it all before. LOL. So I'll ask a couple of questions -- for someone to answer tomorrow when sober :) In Mike's picture, there are what appear to be two water traces, coming from the arrow points I've marked in RED. The rear of the drum case looks...

This is a pic of the ID plate on what I thought was the original motor -- included as a spare. I changed the original motor thinking it was responsible for the noise, before realising it was the drum bearings. But it says Hotpoint on it. I certainly don't ever remember it being changed before...

Rear view Creda 1000 Still has the original hoses. And here's a vid -- poor quality I'm afriad -- of a last rinse(into hidden bucket) before final spin, with the back off. You can really hear the bearings in this one...

Nope sadly my hob is a bosch. I chose it because it's a 5 ring gas hob that sits in a 600mm gap. And I'm afraid to say, my new washing machine will be another german, a meile.

One of my vices many people think, is that I take so much care of pretty well everything I get. When we got the Creda washer and dryer, I was pretty insistent on always cleaning it after use etc. Drove my mum nuts. lol. But on the other hand, I do tend to make things last almost forever. I'd...

Creda 1000 in action Here's a vid of my Creda 10700 working. Still going after all these years, albeit with noisey drum bearings and in need of a suspension leg. The link is to my photobucket account and for some reason it only seems to play back via chrome or Iinternet explorer, but not...

Hi there, Thanks for the welcome. I've decided the best thing is to accept an offer I've been made. I'll use the Creda to do a few last washes, and then it can go to a new home. I have to confess, I never thought I'd keep it so long, and be a little sad to see it go. But a lot happier knowing...

Hello Creda TI 1000, Yep, and it all works too, other than needing new drum bearings and a suspension leg, -- which are still just serviceable but really do need replacing. The suspension leg suffered becaue there was a water leak above it -- now fixed. I even have the original electric motor...
