    Hoover keymatic further tinkerings

    Hi Alan Yes it did have transit brackets on in first few videos once I carried back into shed I removed them. I was nervous incase pipe split. But I've been slathering it in liquid glycerin and that has really softened it up. I'll have a look into different colored keyplates. Good luck with...

    Hoover keymatic further tinkerings

    Well it's water tight Today I tried running full cycles and firstly it's water tight all but a drip less than I teaspoon which I can live with. Now then it seems to only want to fill for both wash n rinse cycles with cold. I'm wondering if it's been altered to do that ? If I cannot change...

    Hoover keymatic further tinkerings

    Today has been great weather so I decided to get a bit more done with the keymatic since we had a mini meet in at mine earlier this year ! So I repainted the plinth , added s/h non original inlet valves and pipes, discovered a hole in front panel and plugged it , renewed pressure vessel pipes ...

    What really flushed Hoover UK down the pan.

    To show how popular this was ... At the time of the free flights fiasco when the US flights came into play friends of mine got 7 hoovers as wedding presents ! People were buying them like crazy because it was so much cheaper than tickets. They might have just got through them by now lol Richard

    Message for vacerator re gas cooker pipes

    No problem Hi Mike I thought it might be more a k than s in you're name but doing videos I sometimes waffle on. Later models had the spark clicker on the gas wand too so it lit itself to light other parts. Richard

    Message for vacerator re gas cooker pipes

    Hi Vacerator you asked about the small pipes on the side of the U.K. Gas cookers that were for sale in Julys shippers square that Al Vacbear does. I've done a little video of my cooker as it has one. It's easier to describe its function than type it ! Hope this helps Richard...

    Classic UK Appliances - May 2016

    Kodak disc camera I had a Kodak disc camera. It was basically a regular film camera that was in cartridge that was square with a circular centre. 15 small pictures were arranged in a disc fashion. Easier to load and unload but small film area mean pics not great in definition. Similar to a 110...

    Keymatic 3224

    . Well sometimes it the simple things we miss. The good thing is it means there isn't much wrong with motor or pulleys etc. Your next challenge is the rubber. It's likely to need new pressure hoses and fill hoses from valves to the tall fill pipe. And the drain hose from tub to pump is a...

    Keymatic 3224

    Great That's great. It does seem to be struggling on the tumble and spin , I wonder if that's why it's stops and starts 3 times its perhaps the motor over heating etc. Does it feel warm ? The motor has a gearbox at one end it may need more grease. This may sound daft and obvious have you made...

    Keymatic 3224

    That's great Great news. Mine clicks quickly through cycle until spin then spins but doesn't stop ! Whew the spin cycle is selected ! They all advance if you pull the card out to the stop. I'm on with the fill valves but will have to replace them with modern ones. Looking forward to seeing...

    Keymatic 3224

    Just looking Just looking at pictures it seems the time line has moved all be it back wards or through a full cycle the indicator line looks closer to start in video than in pic 1. I think from the sound it could be s stuck solenoid in the timer box. Perhaps you could open up and see if it...

    Keymatic 3224

    Oh dear I'm out of ideas !! Sorry. How long have you let it sit ticking away ? It may be stuck mid cycle and a bit slow ? Good luck Richard

    Keymatic 3224

    What program? Hi what program did you select. If it was any that started with a full that maybe the correct thing to do. Normally if program selected and keyplate removed then it clicks to end tumbling and spinning and pumping for a second or two each time it passes the right points. Have you...
