Can anyone identify my old old washer

[washerman250]

OK so when I was little a had a washer exactly like this after 7 years the timer went awal then the whole machine shook itself to death but I don't know what brand can anyone help Im pointing towards merloni made

 

[foraloysius]

Yes, that's an Antonio Merloni product. Since it's a built in machine, Servis or Baumatic come to mind.

Here's a list of all the Antonio Merloni labels (AFAIK): Ardo, Nordland, Servis, Edy, EBD, EFS, Elin, Upo, Tecnogas, Baumatic, Elto, Bompani, Blücher, Eurotech, Clatronic, Novomatic, Philco, Selectro, WegaWhite, Nardi, Eudora, Studio, Atlantic, Campomatic and Thor

I'm going to say baumatic!as that was b&q s best offer on a built in washer when we got are new kitchen in 2004

Antonio's been shopping at the brandname flea market, hasn't he?

 

[foraloysius]

Antonio bought up manufacturers with a decent reputation in a lot of European countries that were closing down or for sale. Most were national known brands. The factories were shut most of the time and the market was flooded by relabeled Antonio Merloni products.

It's a Servis Rainwave 900rpm I think they were.

An Antonio Merloni made Servis not a genuine Servis.

A. Merloni - The WCI of Europe

*LOL*

Knew at once as the thing looks similar to my old Malber washer another A. Merloni brand.

To my mind these appliances are "ok" if just starting out and or cannot afford to do better. With reasonable care they may even last some time. My Malber was basically given away only because it needed a new cold water inlet valve. Didn't want to bother as had the Miele installed so that was that.

Can you remember the store it was brought from?

If you can remember the store it was brought from it may help as some stores had 'exclusive' brands to their store. Such as MFI having their own brand of 'Diplomat' appliances (made by Antonio Merloni)

CandyD10, yeah Diplomat or Hygeina were the brands MFI used, its quite possible that it is a Nardi branded AM machine, but then Nardi machines actually said "Nardi" on them

We got kitchen from mfi dad told me it was diplomat

 

[foraloysius]

I already had Nardi on my list, but not Diplomat. So I just added another label to the Antonio Merloni list.

Don't know much...

About the manufacturers behind machines, but the controls on that machine immediately wanted me to say Servis (we had a service free standing) buttons and dials the exact same.

Oh OK I looked into it further and it was Servis thanks for the help
