Hi all, and especially F&P people in Australia, New Zealand and US. Our much loved F&P Aquasmart has stopped working this morning. Fault Code 49, which is apparently a faulty water valve. This happened mid-cycle (spin-rinse section) and the machine stopped dead. I checked the solenoids on...

It seems F&P are finally bringing laundry to Europe with their stylish new FL washers. I really hope the bring the CleanSmart Top Loader too, but I suspect that won't happen :-( Have any NZ/AU members tried the new FL range, or the CleanSmart for that matter? D...

Hi all I'm am soon to pick up a FP Aquasmart when I'm back in the UK at the beginning of July (thanks as ever to Rich who is going to mind it for me for a few days!). Can't wait to try it out - have wanted one of these for ages, and finally hunted one down in the UK - it is the LCD model...

I think I know this picture... http://twintub.co.uk/epages/eshop188917.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/eshop188917/Products/%22Hotpoint%20Twin%20tubs%20(Fully%20Refurbished)%22

Hi all - did anyone go for the F&P aquasmart that ended on ebay today? I had hoped to get it, but the seller had restricted bids to UK only (grrr), so my bids wouldn't register. Would have been a fun (and rare over here) machine to have! D...

Hey mark Check your email (assuming it's still the same!) David

Hi all Just got my 'new' Hotpoint 1012 spin dryer into the house, so I thought I'd put up a few pics for you all to see. This spin-dryer is essentially the spin side of the early 70s Hotpoint Supermatic 1460 twin-tub - I saw one many years ago, and always wanted one - they weren't produced for...

Well it has got here (well it's at Richard's for the moment - thanks again Rich for sneaking this in for me!). It is a late model 1509/05 - from somewhere between December 1977 and June 1978. It came from the Lincolnshire coast where it hadn't been used for years, so it was dirty, dusty and...

Hi all! I've just won a purple Hotpoint on ebay! it's a 1509/05 (I think...) - not the Liberator, but hey, very close! From the tiny picture, it looks in ok nick so potentially a bargain too. I've now got to work out how to get it from Skegness to the West County. Has anyone got any...

Hi all - this is one that UK friends might be able to help with! I've just done a load of wooley-jumper hand-washing (yes, some of us still handwash!), and having soaked the laundry room floor hauling wet woolens to and from the top-loader, I've decided I need a spin-dryer. Normally there are...

Hi all One for the Servis fans out there (ChesterMike this one is dedicated to you in particular). Tantalisingly without photo, but the description sounds like it might be worth a punt. Best of luck to whoever goes for it! David PS - if anyone comes across a 'hardly-used' 1502 or 1509...

Hi all Has anyone here replaced carbon brushes on a Bosch Classix 1400 WAE28162. Our machine has died after a pathetic 2 1/2 years and given the arcing sound that preceded today's failure, I suspect the bushes. Not impressed with this machine at all... Advice much appreciated! Thanks D

Hi all Rich, Mathew and myself met up on Saturday at Rich's to have a chat and a look at the machines - I brought some laundry so it sort of turned into a mini wash-in!! Totally accidental and not really planned, so please don't feel left-out - do get in touch if you're down this way (or indeed...

Two... excuse the blur...wobbly mobile (cell) phone - better ones to come... D :-)

Hi to US friends... Has anyone seen or experienced this Maytag? I'm really hoping they bring it to the UK, now they've added the all important heater! Does it perform well, and do they make a 220v model for any markets I wonder? Any thought most welcome We had the Neptune in the UK (with...

Hey Mark - hope you're still out there! I'm looking for some Hotpoint New Gen LE TL advice - if you read this maybe you might drop me an email (same address as before). Ta D :-)

Do any of the US pollsters know the future of Maytag commercial washers - now that the Newton Maytag plant has been shut, will they continue in production? The Neptune and Atlanta machines once marketed here for the domestic market (and a very up-market market at that - they retailed at the...

Hi people - has anyone across this machine? Looks pretty cool to me - I wonder if 'air wash' works though.... http://ww2.samsung.co.za/airwash_minisite/index.html

Hi all Just came across this classic machine - someone must want it. I'm sure a matching dryer could be found... http://household.uk.freeads.net/Early_1980%27s_Servis_washing_machine.-437421.htm

This is one for UK/Ireland posters...does anyone recall a detergent called Drive. I have a vague memory that my Mum's best friend used it (as well as Tide) in the 1970s - I think it was in a red box. Ma didn't use it though, thinking both it and Tide to be far too harsh (she suffers from...
