That's is the holy grail of Servis top loaders for sure :-) congratulations and I sincerely hope you manage to find what you need to fix it. I'll have a scout around some Aussie parts dealers and see what I can see. Best of luck and congratulations again :-) Matt

I will be very interested to see if anything new appears on the shelves as a result of Henkels take over of Colgate Palmolive. Drive would have to be my favourite Aussie detergent, closely followed by Dynamo. I have a soft spot for the scent of Fab Sunshine Fresh and like to use it from time...

I love it! Great job Leon :-)

Chris. I think if you select a 60 wash it will fill only with hot water. If you just let it fill for that wash and then cancel it just prior to the heating stage and then restart the machine on a Cold cycle it will just carry on washing without using the heater. This machine doesn't run the...

I have noticed very little difference in the Cottons and Heavy cycles apart from the length of interim spins. I use the Heavy cycle at 60 on the Light soil setting and comes up as 1:50. The interim spins on heavy are long and at 1100rpm. Cottons seems to do longer rinses and shorter interim...

I also have one of these machines :-) And also the matching condensor dryer. I am loving both of these machines. The flexibility of the washer with its cycles is just great. Results have always been spotless. I agree about the balancing although i find it struggles more on partial loads than if...

One has popped up on Oz EBay :-) How coincidental that one has just appeared on Australian EBay too lol!! http://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/182028082564

That Australian top loader is indeed a Hoover. Very good machines, certainly gave the clothes a good wash. The two smaller dials are not original as has been said but the timer dial is original. These ones seemed to be the last models with the 'older' style of Hoover drum and agitator and...

Lol if only it had a boil wash feature. The top temp is 60 degrees maximum. I guess it wasn't seen as necessary in Australia at the time. I do wonder how many Heater models they sold at all what with Australia having quite the 'cold wash' culture. This machine was owned by a very posh British...

HI Washer111 The C/Guard actually stands for Crease Guard. Basically the Rinse Hold function prior to the final spin :-) Thanks! Matt

Brandon - Thanks! I see Chris has already jumped in and answered your questions so I need say no more lol. It is very quite when operating, still audible around the house but a nice gentle 'hummm' Kevin - Thanks :-) The Dual Spin is referring to the two different spin cycles on the machine for...

Hi Guys, I am so happy to be able to tell you that after years of searching I finally found my Australian 'dream machine'. It is the Hoover Electra 535 Dual Spin front load washer. I first encountered one of these at a family friends house and fell in love with it. The colour scheme attracts...

Hi Guys, Whilst looking through some urban explorers videos on YouTube today I found this one of a small house in an unknown state of the U.S. It literally looks as if someone just up and left one day leaving everything behind including everything in the cupboards just about and their...

Heres a video of my old Hitachi PAF series that Steve (Streakers) is talking of. Mine was an earlier model than the 'white' series but still the same mechanics. I did love this machine despite it being a bit beaten up. Very strong wash action as you can see and a good fast spin. I still see...

I can also speak for some experience on this one... I had a Beko for a short while. I had mixed feelings about it. Sometimes it did a great job, sometimes it wouldn't. There were some cycles it just didn't use enough water at all to wash or rinse. Cottons standard rinsing was pretty bad in my...

Guys, This was wonderful, really wonderful :-) I was watching it on my phone at work this morning whilst making my coffee and my workmate came and watched it with me and just "ok, i get it now!". After over a year of making a joke out of the fact I have made the laundry room at work 'my...

This urban explorer found an abandoned house with a Dexter Double Tub wringer right in the front door as well as what seems a couple of other washers/dryers. Pretty neat! I love watching Urban Explorers but can only admire the courage some of the solo ones have walking around these abandoned...

Great little machine! THe grid at the top of the wash tub will be the guard for the overflow pipe. So if you overfill it will simply drain away at the top and be pumped out when the spinner pump is activated :-) Have fun with it :-D Matt

You know your a member of AW.org when: - You say to your partner on a Saturday morning "I can't be bothered doing anything today I just want to sit and relax" but you end up doing 3 loads of laundry AND ironing it because thats how you 'relax'. - You make excuses when you visit other peoples...
