No doubt.....
New member here, and I just wanted some clarification on the Post# 235881 about the issues with Philco Italia products-I thought the Summit Washing Machine was a Gorenje product (from Slovenia)almost identical to the now-apparently-discontinued Danby. Or did Gorenje use some of these same faulty controls that also ended up in the Equator models? Or is there a relationship between the Gorenje and Philco companies? The reason I ask is that the Summit (& Danby) do not look similar to other European FL such as the Ariston, and the Gorenje products are one of the few 120v that heat to 200F.
If that's the 120 volt machine that heated to 200 degrees, did Gorenje manufacture that little pair sold at Home Depot a few years ago. I cannot recall the name, but the washer sounds the same. I have no idea of the reliability of the machines, nor do I even remember when HD stopped selling them. Maybe they stopped selling them when Maytag started marketing the small Samsung stack machines. I can tell you one thing about every small imported dryer we have ever tested. They are noisy compared with the Kenmore/WP 24 inch dryer that went over the portable washer.
I think you are referring to the Danby that HD sold for a seemingly short period of time. The Danby and Summit machines appear to be identical in pictures that I have seen (I have not seen a Summit machine in person), and seem to be the only 120v washers in US that heat water to 200F.
I contacted Summit directly and Steve Ross of Summit Marketing stated that "Yes our SPW1103 series washer and and SPDE1113 dryer are manufactured for us by Gorenje" (I was suprised to receive a response to my question).
My question now is: did Gorenje and Philco share the same electronic parts that made the Philcos have quality issues?

Nice costume, Bundtboy.
Are you certain you don't have it on backwards?
