So far i have only one picture on the page but i will update with more pics. American washer are also welcome even if i most have european washers. https://www.reddit.com/r/Oldwashingmachines/

It was this house i,m talking about https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?89246 And RP2813 it probably was. Just abit sad they couldnt fix it because a big family could live there. Hope they build a new house there later on.

This house is soon no more. In early february there was some workers checking out the house and found several problems including the mold. The electricity was "bad" at some spots in the house. There had been a small fire in one eqipment, probably because of the electricity problem. So this week...

foraloysius:Both the washer and spin drier was made for commersial use. You could however buy them as regular person. They were very expensive to person buyers than for landlords because the regular person had to pay some tax for them as well which the landlors didnt need to do. As for the...

In last picture they also have used an extensuion cord which is not allowed in such rooms. It looks like the even used several ones too. The cord is very near the heater which might be made in metal. Not good at all. Also one thing is sticking up on the roof. See my red marking. I have no idea...

Then we move to unsafe/dangerous installations. In this first picture we can see they have used an extensuion cord for the machine and not proper installed. Also the water inlet seems to be a simple garden hose. No insurance company would pay back if something happened here.

Next picture is perfect. Here they have a separate knob for ecah machine. One plus is that you can turn off the power completely to both machines which is good.

This is about laundry rooms but can applies to other rooms like kitchen and stuff. In wet areas the washing machines and driers should be installed in a safe electric m,anner. I have two examples of safe versus not safe so i will go through four pictures. What is the best and worst you,ve seen...

And finally last picture and a video. The picture is from a sell site like ebay. I,m quite sad they had tear down this spin drier into parts but it shows the different stuff it has so ok picture because of that. The video below is really loud so turn your volume down first.

Then we have a picture of a C40 with an open door. We can see the drum quite good here. Notice it has a diffrent colour from the other pictures. I took this picture at another place in Karlskrona. They tear down this house around 2012 and now its a complete new house there instead so picture...

The third picture is from a place in Karlskrona where i lived. This spin drier was broken and i couldnt use it. It had come off its foundation and had slightly damaged the wall a litle. This had happened before i moved to the place

The second picture below is from a sell site like Ebay.

Then we move to pictures of the spin drier C40 and C48. Not much difference between the two models. C48 were made approx 1950 while C40 from 1957 approx. They had the same speed. The C48 was only aviable in blue colour while C40 had some different colours aviable. The blue one was however the...

One cool feature with these machines was that you could easily remove the drum if like a coin got stuck under the element. The drum had two metallic clips that you pressed them to the right you could just remove the drum. It was important to close these of course when you put back the drum. Then...

In the next picture we see a slight newer version of the machine. It has the temperature checking on a better wiewing place than the first versions of the machine. Forgot to add that the spin drier also was known as Bohus C40 but it was the C48 that came first. We see such spin drier beside the...

I come to the conclusion it was good idea starting a thread about this washing machine. I mentioned one such machine in another thread in Super called "Really old house in Sweden Karlskrona (LOTS of pics)". They had such machine in the house but because time limits i never took any good pictures...

foraloysius:Sadly i didnt took any pictures of the house outside. However its the last house in a rather big collection of houses. This house is also the oldest because before the 60´s the rest of the place were the newer houses is was just an empty space not used. Te other houses are built...

foraloysius: iTs an Electrolux Dishwasher. Age undknown but probably from late 60´s. The inside had plastic laminat with only regular metal underneath. I saw no rust in there but the owners said it leaked alot and blowed the fuses so probably leaking somewhre inside i guess.

pulltostart: i agree that without the damages this house would be very good indeed. Probably well built to tand long time. Newer buildings can also be good but the question is if they would still stand still after 60-70 years. the thing that it was so much that went to the dump has two reasons...

Last pictureis from the laundry room. The washing machine was bought in february 2021 and workd very good. However if you look closely to the picture you also see a metal top loading washing machine. That one doesnt work and me and the friend with me worked hard to get it out from the laundry...
