Soz Nick - the FL811 induction or brush is a mystery to me too.

anyone know?

p.s still in turmoil over that 17760 (it is a 17760 not a 17660). what to do?
 
I seem to have answered my own question. The FL511 is a 500rpm machine. According to Electrolux Distriparts the 500rpm motor fits both the Z9151 and FL511.

The ebay offering certainly looks like an FL811 to me after looking at the instruction book. I wasnt aware that Zanussi were still selling 500rpm machines in the UK as late into the eighties as they were produced.

The mind boggles!
 
The FL511 has an identical fascia to the FL811.

The link below shows an exploded diagram and parts listing for the FL511, FL811 and FL812 machines. The FL811 and FL812 list the part number for a 800rpm motor, the FL511 shows the part number for a 500rpm motor.

A quick search on www.partmaster.co.uk for that part number '50097610005' shows that this fits the Z9151 and FL511. I know for definite the Z9151 was 500rpm.

If anyone needs anymore proof I'll find some more evidence!

Tom...

The links you have supplied are most enlightening - thank you.

It's the first time I've seen a lower spin speed model of that era - not that there is any visual difference. The vast majority I've seen have usually been 800rpm machines. :-)

The lower spin speed has most likely contributed to the lengthy trouble free service the machine has delivered as the current owner states.

If only I had the room for it!

500 Spin

Hi Tom,
The wiring diagram you linked to definitely shows a two speed Motor setup, 800 and 1000 Spin models have a three speed Motor.

I hope this helps.

Hi David,
Thanks for the help with the wiring diagram, not one of my strong points I'm afraid.

So 500rpm FL511 it is then, a rarity for sure.

A rarity for sure

Hi Tom,
Well I'm yet come across one.

If you look at the wiring diagram for the FL511 you will see two circles near the bottom with the letter M in them, these circles denote the Motor. Terminal 1 is a common Neutral, 3&4 are Spin, 5&6 are Tumble so two speeds - Tumble and Spin.
Now if you look at the same circles on the FL811 diagram you will see the first circle (Spin) has an extra terminal 2, this denotes two speeds slow and fast Spin. The second circle (Tumble) has one speed so three speeds in total - Tumble, 400 Spin and 800 Spin.

I hope this makes some sense to you.

Ebay November

Hello all

This has been a good month on ebay for the range of machines that have cropped up.
I too would like to add that the basic Zannusi machines i always liked for there honest engineering and functionality, the one near the top of page a freind of mine had for years and years, the only reason he got rid of it was because it had been leaking and this had rotted the rear lower section of the cabinet and it could not stand up any more.

Gary
 
I contacted the seller of the superb machine below last night to check collection dates. Unfortunately he/she wants the machine collected this week, which i cannot do.

I am gutted as I had got my head around the drive, but I really cant meet the collection date.

Hey ho.

bendix dryer

richard,
i had this model for a little while, until the motor burned out, was given to me by a family friend. I even made a quick video of it. It dried very well and was nice and quiet, it also seemed to hold i lot of clothes for its size.
See link below for video...
Please ignore stupid talking, was one of my first vids

 
Thanks for that!!, Nice video too, your talking isnt stupid, its always nice to have someone go through what their doing and give ya a bit of an insight LOL :-)

The dryer seemed really quiet too!, Methinks its about time I start persuading mum into bidding, mind u, she knows the White Knight 3kg Dryer is on its last legs :(

Thanks Again!

Richard
 
bendix dryer

Hello Richard

I have one these in my loft, it is up there because it is the only place i can, A. put a tumble dryer, B. it was the largest one i could get through the loft opening.

It has turned out to be a great little machine, they did three different versions of this, a 5lb load, a 7 lb load and a 9 lb load version, to achieve this they made the drum deeper each time.

I have modified mine with a reversing motor and reversing controller from a white knight tumble dryer. because small drum tumble dryers tangle large items like sheets.

These are really well built and stylish machines, motors burning out is not too uncommon, the problem being a build up of fluff etc around the motor over many years of usage

Thats my experience of one of these dryers i hope this helps you

Arghh no that is a pity to loose that Hotpoint!!!.....I still havent picked up that Hoover yet either......time i need time and space
 
Cluttered

Hmm at least the Hotpoint front panel is balanced with it's plethora of printed information, whereas the excellent Miele is umm errr........a bloody mess, what were they thinking of it looks so complicated
 
I agree with Gary re the Miele....they always looked excessively programme fussy.

BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A true Quartz dryer - never knew they made one of those.
Thanks for posting - shame its in Essex though - too far away.

A very surprised

Servis Dryer

Wow aswell, never seen one of these, and it looks in good condition, Buckhurst hill from up north M1/M25/M11/A12..hmm a few miles I agree...........bloody lovely though
 
Quartz Dryer

My Mum had one of these. Looked good but took ages to dry things. It could vent from the rear, left, right or the front. The fluff filter was located where the dispenser draw is on a washing machine but it wasn't very effective. The back of the machine where the other vent ports were used to clog with fluff very quickly reducing air flow......used to have to vacuum the back of the machine out every week.
