We had an Electra when I was younger. Not sure on the model. It was a 1993 machine with 2 dials on the right hand side - a delay timer and a program dial - and the soap dispenser on the left, with buttons in the middle and had a push in/pull out dial. I always remember it had a very weak door catch. It was a hopeless machine anyway and we had it repaired about 5 or 6 times in the 3 years we had it and then my Mum got sick of it and bought a Zanussi AquaCycle.

omg

my mum had one of these washers, from 1988-1991

i remember it being a creda with a chrome door, i remember doing a wash load in it when i was aged two (1991), my dad started the machine and the sparks streaming from the plug socket, as the fuse blew =[

i'm sure it was a creda debonair, i think or the creda badged version of that electra =]

i miss that machine, can't remember much of it though.

Only thing i remember was my dad using 80's Daz Automatic Liquid and filling the ball up with a light blue white creamy liquid into the Dazlette

my neighbour had a Creda Concord 1100 when i was little. This machine was awesome from memory. Had a black slanted facia with two large dials, one temp, one programme. Three or four lightswitch type buttons and a very small on/off button at the far end next to the programmer. Also the indicator light was in between the temp dial and the option switches. Does anyone else remember/have pictures of the Creda Concord models? This one lasted a long time and was replaced by a Creda SupaSpeed 1200 which i believe is still going.

The Concord range looked like this dryer below, only the washers had two dials as already explained. Also this facia is a lighter colour.
