Hi guys, My friends have and Electrolux Aqualux EW1200i washer/dryer. They have asked for my help in sorting a problem with it, but I'm not too sure what's wrong. It fills, washes, tumbles, drains, heats and dries just fine, timer still runs and all noises it makes sound perfectly normal...

Some of you will know a few weeks ago I picked up a mystery dishwasher and washing machine from a family friend's deceased relative. Having no idea what they were but that I could have them for free I went around fearing the worst (but a crap dishwasher is still better than no dishwasher...

Hi guys,   Just a bit of help and advice really, as many of you will know I have a Hoover Logic 1300 A3636 in daily use at the moment.   I have managed to repair most of the (minor) faults the machine had, with a lot of guidance and parts from Gary (Electron1100).   The last thing I have...

Hi Looking for a bit of advice. My parent's 4 year old panasonic microwave has had its door broken off, so they are looking for a new one. Just looking for some opinions on what would be the best brand/model to go for? Microwave only is enough, it doesn't need to do convention and/or grill...

Hi guys, I picked this dryer up the other weekend, in great condition, just hoovered out some fluff, replaced the vent hose and lubricated the motor/rollers and it's working great. Just a couple of questions really. Firstly, how to I remover the front panel to check/clean the heating...

Hi guys, The interlock on my grandad's A8596 has started playing up. It locks and unlocks but a catch around where the door latch fits seems to get jammed shut, meaning the only way to open it is to pry the lock open from the inside. I can get a new interlock online, but at nearly £45 I wanted...

Hi all, I need to move my Logic 1300 from Plymouth up to Durham. Does anyone have any experience using couriers for transporting large appliances? Any recommendations on a particular company? How much would I roughly be looking at paying? Any help much appreciated! Matt

Hi guys, Well it's nearly 4 in the morning, but for whatever reason I'm wide awake, so I thought I'd make use of the time to seek advice on an ongoing problem I'm having with this machine. You may remember from my previous thread that the progress indicator on the timeline control was out of...

Hi all, looking at proerty to rent earlier I stumbled accross a picture which left me sat gaping mouthed. In the kitchen of the properly there is a vintage (appears to be late 70s) Hoover auto, the first thing that sprung to my mind was the original Selectamatic. The only difference being that...

Whilst I was posting about the Hotpoint I thought I may as well make a thread for this machine as well. We actually picked this machine up in January from Merthyr Tydfil of all places! Have been using it for about a month or so as a daily driver and I absolutely love it! There are, however, a...

As many of you will know we recently obtained this machine off ebay, picked it up the other weekend. First surprise was that it's actually almond, in the ebay photo it looks very much white! Otherwise the machine is very much as expected, a bit battered and bruised, but the important parts...

My boyfriend Marc (Washerboy84 on youtube not yet a member here) and I have a Hotpoint 9517. It's in fairly good cosmetic condition, only problem is one of the plastic strips is missing off the left hand side of the worktop, otherwise it looks like it's been very well looked after. It runs...

Ok, so my flatmate had 60 minute makeover on, and they replaced this poor woman's Miele with a silver CDA. *vomits* I knew there was a reason I never watched this show, I thought the designers had at least half a brain cell between them though! What a disgrace! Matt

Hi guys, I was cleaning my Granddad's house the other day, came accross an old photo which caught my interest. The woman in the photo is my grandma, I'd assume it was taken early to mid 1960s. It isn't the clearest of pictures, but I couldn't help but notice that behind her, to the left of...

Most of us know that excess foam hinders washing action, surely this is just encouraging poor laundry habits? discuss... Matt

My Mum's Hotpoint TL61 has pretty much had it's day now, the belts snapped and it needs new drum rollers and/or bearing pads (screeches like mad). We've already had a quite a lot of work done to it and spent more money on it than most people would on a dryer, considering it's been rather...

Hi everyone, Well browsing through ebay on Friday night I noticed the dryer I grew up with listed just a few miles away from me. Have been looking for a compact dryer for my place at uni, so seemed like it was meant to be. Bought for my parents as a wedding present in 1988, we had this dryer...

Hi everyone, Since recently aquiring my Hotpoint 9404, this has been my first real oppourtunity to use a twin tub (used various family members as a child, but was too young to really pay attention to results and such). Currently I'm doing two rinses in the spin can followed by a deep rinse in...

Hi everyone, I got hold of this at the weekend, pretty battered and bruised, the fascia is worn off and theres a rusty bolt at the bottom of the spin can, but it washes and spins ok. The first wash I did was a boil and it heated fine, I then tried to heat the water for the next load, it heated...

Well Mum's Whirlpool seems to be on it's last legs...finally! I don't want to speak too soon, it's been misbehaving for a while, making a metallic grating sound when it tumbles (belt?), but now it seems like more and more things are going wrong. The noise is getting a lot worse, it's also...
