Gosh!

That Rolls takes me back!

I remember as a kiddie, my Gran's "Rapide" was stored away under the counter. I twisted the left dial - and was immediately frightened to death when it started ticking!

Good work!

What is the reason for the 'oven door handle' in the middle of the door glass?
 
Thanks

To Al for his hospitality over the weekend the food, company and washers were of the highest order as usual.
I'm glad the plant pot trick worked well it's great to see the EE working. I'm guessing all went well with it.
Ian.
 
In some cases

it only takes a small repair to get things up and running again.

A case in point was the Zanussi manufactured AEG where a tiny piece of plastic in the door catch assembly shattering - no surprise after 35 years - to render the machine inoperable as the door could not be closed. In a wonderful example of co-operation Mike (Mikeymatic) who, sadly could not join us this weekend, came across a NIB door catch assembly, posted it to me and Richard and Steve (with a couple of words of advice from Mathew) soon had the machine back in full working order again.

Not so good

Was the matching Miele dryer I got to match it, which although advertised as working, was not selecting the programme properly. I do have an older version, which we used at the weekend for the first time without any problems, so I will have to check back in the manual to see if I can get any hint as to the problem. Oh well, one project starts as another has ended - a familiar tale to many here I am sure .....
 
Superjet

Thanks goes to Richard for getting to grips with the Hoover Super-jet dishwasher that we got back in January for identifying a leak arising from a split hose. He got to work to (hopefully) seal the leak - the repair was left to "cure" so we could not actually test it straight away so incremental progress, but progress none the less. This is the only known example of this particular model, so again it is great to she it on the way to full working order.

The Superjet is the model with the black door and interlinking circles
 
Rolls

This is one of the newest additions and in need of a pump transplant for the spinner. Fortunately I had a donor machine to hand (and Ariston single tub which only cost me 99p) which was not working to supply the pump - which did! For a machine which was very much built down to a price it was great to see it washing and spinning again.
