Hey congrats I'm sure you'll get lots of help here as I have with mine. One thing to check when unplugged Is the starter switch in the motor is centrifugal make sure it doesn't jam on. Try a small screwdriver in the end and move contacts back and forth. Also spin the pump fan to ensure its not...

Since the mini meet at my house earlier this month I've been spurred on to do more with the Hoover keymatic We got the pump working when the boys were up but we noticed fill valves jammed open and hoses split to fill flume and pressure vessels. So a trip to halfords and some new rubber...

Ooh Hi Ian that's looks quite a bit of work ! But I do like the look of them ! Richard

Consett steel I've found this film on bfi it's about Consett and how they made steel it's from 1967 not long after my parents arrived in Consett. It's a little long and in depth but quite fascinating! Richard http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-consett-steel-1967/

So So after the strip down sadly the drain pipe Darren kindly gave me was incorrect so I need on of those. As the machine appears mechanically in great condition I've decided to strip down the casing to get it blasted and repainted. I'd like to have this as a regular one to use. So far I...

Thanks to the mini wash meet held at my home a few weeks ago I got to plug in and try a servis mk 2 twinnie originally made in Australia that I bought years ago but had never tried. After a bit of water in the spinner it all ran really quietly and without a hitch, the wash tub leaked due to a...

Hi Petek I'm Richard it wasn't my birthday it was Darren's but that's no problem!! Re your comment about Steve over the weekend the guys got to meet my parents on separate days. My mum said to Steve well I recognize you ! But there's no way she could know him. On day 2 my dad said well I know...

Hi guys I'm after the cold rinse double valve inlet valve for my mams washer. I've seen one one ebay but wondered if any of you guys have one from a scrap machine first. It's working of sorts but letting fabric softener in in first rinse , my mam, is a big fabric softener queen !! It's a...

Out of self interest This is free to a good home or it goes to scrap man. 1990 AEG 435 favorite dishwasher. Would match wd shown earlier

Possibly yes Hi I know when it fills it runs and sounds very noisy for a few seconds then re fills and goes quiet. Yes the Beko is very good. I have to say it looks very smart and cleans very well. My mum is a notorious pre rinser or soaker. So I'm trying to persuade her not to in the beko as...

Hi guys My mum has decided to retire her 1990 AEG favorite dishwasher, it has worked without fault every year since 1990 but recently developed a problem with the lower wash arm. It has worn a little and rocks from side to side and this movement causes the star circlip to pop off and the wash...

Yes Yes it's a great machine. I've read up on other websites and it seems it's normal what it's doing. It gets hot quick then tumbles for ages to use that heat then empties as it cools. I have to say everything is clean. But then again I'm not that dirty lol. The wool wash is a bit too gentle...

Hi my shiny new all singing all dancing washer dryer might have a temperature problem. Which is ironic as that was the reason I retired the oh so lovely bendix lt! I noticed the other day I'd left out a vest type thing from a 50c wash. I paused it opened the door a popped it in. It was however...

Ha ha Thanks Darren! Id have loved that ! I doing demos and training for job. Just not appliances ! I have to stop myself in john Lewis from selling things when I see people buying the wrong things lol Richard

1965 bendix washer dryer I've used my 1965 bendix washer dryer or combo for 14 years ( it was unused up until then) as my daily driver. It was great. Vented drying but only one heat ( fierce! ) it sadly devolved timer and thermostat issues so I've had to retire it for a modern Bosch version...
