Bauknecht WA758SC

statomatic · Nov 14, 2014

Hi, I've recently get this very nice machine picked up by a friend.

Built like a tank, heavy, steady and pretty quiet because it uses an asynchronous motor (spin speed 800rpm by using a clutch mechanism).

The drain pump were completely dead and the filter gaskets leaked.
We replaced it by a Copreci with some modifications.

Is anyone has some infos about this kind of machine ?
They seems to almost doesn't exist on the web.

I'll post some other pics tomorrow.

One of my dream Bauknecht's!

What a great find. Top of the range was the WA785S, with the 758S being the next model down.

Fairly certain that there are one or two of these in the safe hands of some of the German collectors. Hopefully they will be able to help with information about it.

The brochure page was posted on the forum years ago - many thanks to the owner of this publication.

Regards
Paul

You're welcome! ;-)

Here is the link to the thread with the whole brochure. The specifications are there too. If you can't make anything of the Dutch, just ask.

Thanks for your replies guys.

This brochure is very interesting, the coppertone one looks sexy !

@ foraloysius:
I don't understand Dutch so if you can translate some infos about the 758 it will be cool.

As promised here is some other pics:

KEMA is the Dutch electric safety institute, this machine has a label from it.

It has a child safety system, that locks the door during the whole program.

Capacity is 5kg, drum is 46 liters. Spin is 850rpm.

It has a wool cycle. The button on the right is the spin button, you can use it with the non-iron/permanent press cycle and the wool cycle.

The left button is the 1/2 load button, the machine will use less water if you use that.

A 95*C cycle with prewash will use 106 liters, 2.8kWh and will take 110 minutes.
