You might like this Paul Hello Paul I have a few vintage dishwashers and one of them is a sort of predecessor of this creda. The kenwood dishwasher. It was designed to fit in a cupboard or on a bench or even hang on the wall. It has an impeller in the base that throws water around. 3 cycles and...

Well done Hi I think it should be fine you could fill more oil so it’s up into the domed part. I’ve attached a picture from its sister machine the countess and it explains about the screw. It says to removed completely when in use. Later machines had a plastic screw with an an vent in so it...

Motor oil cover Hello I guess until you try oil you won’t know if it leaks. I’m not sure if your motor has the oil ports if it does they are spring loaded caps just push oil nozzle in and a few squirts will be enough. See picture. This motor on mine is earlier. Please note this motor is one...

Well done Hello you have been very good to get this far ! Your daughter owes you a big reward ! I’ve never stripped one this that far. Quite often oil leaks are from loose joints so tighten all nuts. The picture I’ve added is where I think the oil goes. It was a white plastic nut remove this...

Thanks Paul That’s great for the info. What year is the catalogue? Yes wash room coming along !! Still lots to fix ! Richard

I thought you might get a kick out of my latest purchase. A compact ( and I mean really compact ) Bendix automatic washer ! Knee high automation. Huge motor for size of drum throws clothes back and forth like a laundromat. Ticking peg on drum advances timer. No suspension so an out of balance...

Welcome Kevin Hi Kevin this is a great site, lots of great friendships made here, on both sides of the pond. Lovely collection you’ve got too. Looks like you have the most important thing of all. A bit of space to expand!! As we all know your hobby will expand to fit and over fit the space you...

Haha Well look for another one for spare parts ! I’ll keep my eye out ! Richard

Haha Hi Kenneth I might be tempted to look for another dryer as they do pop up regularly. They also made the later version with blue accents. Never mind being a PITA i through every swear word at it when re assembling lol Richard

I should point out That it was such a PITA of a job I would never do it again. Too many parts to align and seal Up. Haha Richard

Great work Hello great work in the dryer I have one. How are the air seals? They tend to rot and someone did tell me they are made with asbestos. I replaced mine. I bought large strips of felt that would normally stick to big pieces of furniture to stop floor scratches. My mum sewed them...

Looks great Well done I love the Bendix and have a model D but needs a full restore Cannot wait to get it going ! Richard

Looking at my friends His all tumble clockwise from the front. So looks ok. Perhaps the starter windings are still Engaged ? This may cause overheat and burnout ? Richard

Hello Hi Geoff it doesn’t have a filter as such. There is a sump hose to pump that has a catch pot. Coins buttons etc fall in but the pump is self cleaning. If it’s leaking only on spin it might be a small hole in middle or top creases of door seal. Or soap Powder drawer to run hose ( ie water...

Thanks John Thanks again. I’ll have another go at altering it and let you know. Yes crazy year hardly had chance to see the lads ! And we have lots of machines to move amongst us !! Take care Richard

Hey Cory ! Hello Cory I wasn’t sure if you’d be in this group ! My friend Al suggested Cadman might be you !! I didn’t try the oven thing but tried a hot air gun slightly bending the edges. I tired several permutations and it’s like the stirrer is too big for the cover any movement front or...

Hello I have a 1978 amana radarange microwave in the uk. I’ve been following a chap called Cory and his great site about these machines. I’m not sure if he’s on here. Basically I’ve replaced the aged seals which helps direct air through the machine and turns the stirrer in the roof. However my...

Hello Nick You may remember I commented on this on the tv forum. It’s like a Bendix model I had. And the pressure inside should be huge. Mine used to force the door forward a little and the noise was like a pressure washer nozzle hitting the window. It used lots of water and rinsed a lot...

Hello Cadman Thanks for your reply I’ve done a video of it running. You can see what I mean about the auto defrost it does sound like it’s ticking ie it may fire into life the cycle off and on I didn’t want to leave it running in case of damage. Thanks for your help Richard

Thanks So when it’s off would it be silent. Modern microwaves still Make a noise then you hear the magnetron kick in this went silent bar a hum but I didn’t dare leave it too long. I removed the roof cover and the stirrer moves if not smoothly but doesn’t seem to move when cooking. I looked...
