NEW CANDY CATALOGUE

Today I just had a look at Candy's Italian website and strangely, all the 1600 rpm machines disappeared, now the maximum spin speed you can find is 1400...

And the same goes for the French website!

And in Germany all the machines at 1400 and 1600 rpm are marked as "NEU", new model.

The recirculation pump is fine now. I carried out a few maintenance washes and it seemed to have cured the problem with the machine - No longer makes that horrible noise.

Seeing as its just the PCB Board I will make enquries about a possible repair.

I don't think that the spins with the drum/tub full of water caused any problems with the suspension. My machine has been fine with carrying out the spin rinses. Even when stuffed full with a duvet. The suspension isn't anything special in this machine and it has been fine, in fact I think the extra weight helped keep the drum/tub more stable, when only normal spin with no water present, everything seems to move about more. But I do think that perhaps Electrolux stopped it as perhaps they might not be making their newer machines as well as they did. The tubs and now completely sealed if I remember reading correctly. The extra pressure of the drum spinning full of water at 400RPM must certainly put a great deal of strain on seals and the bearings.

Woah!

Hello folks, fairly new member here.
Interesting to see such a heated discussion. Brings to mind something my nan used to say...
.."If you buy cheap. you buy twice!"
Just a thought.

Hey 3belt, I could easily point out a dozen homes around here that have the laundry somewhere in the master suite. A few years ago I looked through a house being built where the dryer vent routing went like this:

1. From the dryer upwards through an interior wall (bend 1).
2. Through the ceiling space between floors (bend 2).
3. A jog to accommodate the tray ceiling in the mater BR (bends 3 and 4).
4. Down the wall on the other side (bend 5).
6. A jog to the right and then out (bends 6 and 7).

The length of the run had to be at least 30 feet. The town that the house was being built in has no inspectors.

when I was househunting in Manassas several years ago-the realter showed me a place in Manassas Park,just outside of Manassas-was weird-the Washer Dryer was moved from an attic alcove to the master bedroom.Its just to strange to have a washer and dryer right by the bed-what happens if you want to wash while taking a nap?Passed on that place.Other homes the washer was in the kitchen or the little alcove beside the kitchen or in the attic-off the hallway.

have candy can do

I have a Candy cm462s Washer, had it 2 years only had 1 call out to remove a coin that was rattling underneath the drum. The service was good friendly and professional, and nothing was a bother to the tech guy. He checked over the machine for safty issues and found none, he was happy I was happy. job done.
This machine I have is excellent, main wash is 90mins at 40 degrees.There are 3 function buttons I use, fast wash, stain remove, and allergy. The allergy button gives me 6 deep rinses all with a fast pre spin for 3 mins then a step up 4 phase to hi 1400 spin. I am a very happy candy user, if I was to turn off those buttons. The wash time increses to 3 hours and a very slow drum roataion. and only 4 low water rinses. I know this is frustrating to some guys but, I have no problems here

cornutt; when a town has no codes or inspectors, then folks can build treehouses, have exposed wires, place sockets in bathtubs!

The 25 foot max length has been in the building codes over 1/2 century ; and it is derated for each bend. If Beavis and Butthead want to build a fire trap not up to proper codes; many insurance companys will not cover jackleg settups.
