Thanks for the comments guys!
Hi David.
You mention the dryer with the door release on the dial.
I am perplexed by that and mine/Robs machine, in that both are model 7448!
Whilst moving the machine into store today, Rob discovered a sticker on the bottom, which was from the motor - labelled 'PHILCO' and dated 11/84.
Our machine is also a 7448/1 so, clutching at straws, might our machine be the early version, with the manual door handle release, whilst the machine I post a picture of below is the later/final version?
The only difference appears to be the door release function.
Any thoughts?

Hi Paul.
Unfortunately neither myself or Rob are in a position to keep large appliances in either of our homes.
So, rather irritatingly, its generally a case of find a machine and take it to Robs to check it out (where all the photos are taken). We can maybe keep it there for a day or so, but then it goes into storage.
The Bendix dryer and another machine, that i also collected last weekend and for which a thread will be set up soon, were taken to out new storage site today.
Far from ideal, but the best that can do at the moment.
cheers

Ever Decreasing Circles
Hi Chris.
You jogged my memory of that great show from the 80s'
They did indeed have one of the matching Bendix washers, to our dryer.
If i remember rightly, you never really saw their washing machine - i get the impression that it was under where the camera was, when you had a view of the kitchen.
I do remember one episode, when Martin was having a particularly bad day, and he had some words with the machine.
Basic and vague recollections were that the machine was on and Martin thought it was taking the piss out of him.
He started talking to it and whenever he asked a question to the machine, you got a full TV screen view of the machine, when it should have been responding to him.
Must try and find EDC's on youtube.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Philip.
Yes, this will be the matching dryer to your wasing machine. Uncanny that one turns up a merely week after you asked the question whether a match existed.
This is just the impression that i get but, barring the compacts that were about, model 7448 (in its two guises) was the only model Bendix produced and matched the entire range of washers.
I have never seen a single dial and option button equipped dryer from this range.
I post a piccy of an exhibition (not my own piccy), dated 1983, where Bendix showed off their wares.
The facias appear to show (top to bottom)...
single dial/possibly single button washer
single dial/three button washer
double dial/double button washer
double dial dryer
double dial (one a 'timedial')/six button washer
I think the picture shows the original line up, as other variations came in the range, but the dryer appeared to be a constant double dial machine - unless someone else knows otherwise.
Be really interested to know about the other versions of machines from this range! I will post some pics in a bit.
Cheers

Fan only
Congratulations on the dryer! You indeed need the matching washer, wonderful machines!! The dryer could get an "A" rating now with the Fan only setting, just like White Knight did. LOL

Thanks for all your help - it is really appreciated.

Hi Mathew.
Yesterday evenings testing was completed on both the dryer and the other machine very satisfactorily.
Testing and tidying commenced on yesterdays acquisition, this afternoon.
Once we repair the inevitably cracked door release grab, this machine will for its age look pretty darn good.
Will set up threads over the coming days.
Hope all is well down in Cardiff and see you next month.
Paul
p.s below is model 7124 Autowasher 800 - note the two different door handle styles.

Hi Louis.
thanks for the comment.
Jnow what you mean about the Fan Only setting.
v - unusual option.
paul
p.s belwo is model 7126 Autowasher 800. Do people know whether Bendix did a Hotpoint with their machines and, generally, updated them each year or so and giving them a new model number?

Well, my friend had the six button, two dial machine. Exactly like the photo you nicked. The timer knob was pretty much not a knob, but a program progress display. The machine had a start button that advanced the timer. Must have been a pain in the bum if you never really use the pre wash! You can see that the knob is different from the rest. I can't remember if you couldn't move it manually or if its just to make it look that way so you don't move it while its on.
The dryer if I recall correctly had the same kinda thing going on with the temperature knob. Obviously you could turn that knob.
My friends parents got the machines in 1982/83 I believe. I'm sure they got them as wedding presents and they had my friend in 1984. I could be wrong however so you could be right Paul! Maybe the 'TOL' model was only sold with the 7168 or maybe it could have been an exclusive. Doubt it though!
The 7133 is an 800rpm machine. The manual is on my old favourite, the service force website. All the Benidix machine are under "TDA" when you search by manufacturer.
I've attached the manual for my all time favourite Bendix... the 7168

Bendix
Hi Guys.
Nice photos. I am trying to find a Bendix washer my Aunty had in the early 1970 - 1980 ish. It was a quite tall machine, same size as Bendix home laundry centre. It had 1 control to the right of the machine, which was to set the programmes, ie, programme 1,2,3,4,5, ect, and then she would have to hold in a start button to it came to wash section and how many mins to wash. It had a number of red light, wash, rinse, spin. The soap dispenser was on the top of the machine and had a large metal loading door. It had a dreain screen at the bottom, and she would forget to empty this sometimes. The progress indication would rotate, and was behind a glass screen.
She had this machine for many years. I think she had to have it bolted down.
Regards
Paul

Ahh bendix washers. Fond memories. My grandma had a 1000rpm in white model with the two dials which is very reminisent of the bosch WFF2000 i have in my shed. Programme selector and progress mechanical dial! I've attached a piccie below. It was a wonderful machine. She'd always have it waiting for me after school and on weekends bless her.
