Creda 17032 Supaspeed 1150

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

Definitely a Blythe Bridge built machine. They never seemed as common as Hotpoint or Hoover, but I did use an Electra badged one in a holiday cottage once. Not sure about the date, but it's probably mid to late 80s.

One of the last proper Creda machines before they started to re-badge Hotpoints. The main thing I remember was it was a pain to change the drum bearings as the front does not come off.
 
looks like a nice Creda there, definitely a late true Creda before a similar design was used on reskinned Hottie's, I think this could be made in January 1991 as it has 191 at the end of the serial number, but once u've restored it, I'll greatly look forward 2 see it in action as I've never really seen 1 working lol :)

I think this will be about the closest i get to find my beloved child hood Ti Creda machine, Great knowing it was produced in the same factory.

Hopefully it won't be long Neil. The parts have been ordered, so while i'm waiting for them to arrive i will tidy up the paint work.
 
Excellent!!
And if memory serves,the wash cycle and spins should be almost identical to my Nan's 83 electra 11500,the rinse water level may not be as high! But just the sight of that drum fills me with nostalgia :)

Just spotted this...

Hey Craig, just noticed this beauty! I haven't been on here for a while...but really nice to see the Creda Super Speed coming out the wood works. As we've discussed before, these are one my favourite series of machines. What's the update? Did you manage to find the door, etc?

Hass.

PS: If I am correct is was these series of machines that spun anti clock wise...right? :)

Luckily the door parts i need are still available but are currently on back order. I'm just waiting for the stock to arrive & yes this machine spins anti clock wise. Can't wait to get it up & running & to video it in action.

Awesome!!

*drools* Loving the close up of the dial! I shall be waiting with anticipation as you dunno how excited I will be to see this this machine in action! I'm sure your just as excited as I am. I was looking at the thread I did on these machine's yesterday. So glad you got the opportunity to find one Craig, how did you get hold of this beauty?
 
Hi craig.

Sorry for delay in responding - playing catch up on the forum this evening!

Great save with the 17032 - one of the final series of Creda machines, before they became Hotpoint 95's in drag.

Smart styling and pleased that you are able to procure a new door for it (hopefully!), so we can see some videos soon!
Never saw a proper Creda in action, despite having a 10500 at the top of the street.
Always makes me sad to remember the classic machines that I grew up with and that we would love to see again today.

Righty oh - the 17032.
The 191 definitely has something to do with it and I would agree with Alan about it being January 1991.

Roll on the videos!

Still waiting for the parts Paul.

The door catch has an available due in date of early December but still no word regarding the door hinge. I could kick myself because i came across a matching Dryer a week before i got the Washer & i'm sure it had the same door hinge.

Sorry for the late reply

Sadly I never did get the replacement door parts, but I did get to watch it going through a full cotton cycle, was expecting more from this machine but the programming was rather boring.
 
Hi Craig,

Do you still have this machine? If you are interested I have found an alternative supply of the parts you need.

Tom
 
as it's the only classic UK made washing machine that I still haven't seen in action yet, I'd like a rough idea as to what it does during a normal wash programme, I know it'll be the usual soak & rain affair but after hearing many rumours on these, do they actually spin anti-clockwise? cos I think the spin cycle is interesting on these so I know that similar models will do the same when it comes to programming. :)
 
'Childhood Machine'

Optima (reply#12) mentions seeking a machine from the past. What 'model number' (from the front panel) or 'type number' (from the rear data-plate) are you seeking??? I live adjacent to the old Creda works, and the local second-hand shops still have Creda machines in them (employees bought them at 'staff discount', so there were LOTS of them around here). I can keep any eye open for you, and let you know if I spot one. Sadly, I'm not a 'paid-up' member, so I cannot send you a 'private message', but can append to this thread.

All best

Here are a few pictures from members on this site. These are the classic Creda/Electra Washers that I would just love to get my hands on. My email address is [email protected] If you ever come across any just let me know.

Thanks Craig

That's a shame! It must be more and more difficult as the years go on to find parts for these kind of machines,
The classic Creda/Electra machines are as rare as hens teeth these days! I'd love to find a 11500 or a 11400 crusader model
Are you keeping the machine or will you wait in hope for a part?
