I bet your all jeolous aint ya!!

If i get a fault at any stage would any one mind coming to sort it out for me.

I dont have a clue about washers, just like them.

jealous

No i dont think anyone would be jealous, i think people on this group would be pleased that another great machine has been saved and not dumped

As regards servicing maybe there is a group member who is close to you who would be willing to service it, if not then a search around local repair shops would be advisable.

Good luck with it, these are good machines i hope you enjoy it.

Yeh im sure I will certainly beats going out and spending on a beko or something like that!

Heres to high water levels etc etc.

 

[richardc1983]

The only thing that looks to be damaged is the silver door trim around the glass, there is a bit missing.

 

[matchboxpaul]

Yep - an A3110....

in not too badder nick either.

As you say Richard, the only visible issue is with the chrome trim, which will have become unglued, caught by something and then bent off.

Sure you will be able to tolerate that though, as what you are getting is a great machine and, with a bit of a clean, it will look superb.

Brings back memories for me.

door trims

I think i saw these door trims on spares to go or one of those web spares sites they were about £13.00 each

[richardc1983]

If anyone has a spare door trim could they please donate it.

Someone on another forum has told me to get the bearings and motor armature checked.

And if the pump module goes might be hard to source this part.

 

[richardc1983]

its arrived!

Well its here and installed, and already done a non colour fast cottons at 40C wash!

Sounds great and love the high level washing!

Im sure the cleans look cleaner when they came out!

Heres a couple of pictures!

 

[richardc1983]

and heres the one that its replacing! Banished to the hallway awaiting its fait! Its been put on ebay...

Would be ideal for someone who works in that line of work that can repair it and sell it on or use it as nothing else wrong apart from the noisy bearings.

 

[richardc1983]

my new washer has turqouise drum paddles so I am assuming its had a drum replacment at some point which is means its probably had hardly any use.

Once ive done my washing am gonna run it through a maintenance wash afterwards with nothing in to give it a good blast through!

 

[richardc1983]

If anyone has a spare door trim the silver thing could I please buy it off you, it was sharp at the edges so I had to take it off in case caught self on it or the pets caught themselves.

Thank you.

Door Trim

not cheap but here is a new one for your new machine

Sounds as if you are enjoying it, which is good.

The drum paddles are from the eco logics I think, so yes this will have had a complete back plate and drum assembly fitted whihc should last years! as it is fitted with different and much larger bearings than the originals that needed adjusting every so often to take up play.

Hi Gary

Thanks for the link, god they are expensive aint they!

I reckon this machine is going to be fantastic, its onto its 4th load now where the other would be on its 2nd!

I get a high pitched sound when it spins, i can only aliken the sound to when you wet your finger and rub it round the rim of a wine glass, like a whine sound.

Potentially how old will the drum be then? I am assuming that the paddles couldnt have been fitted without replacing the entire drum could they?

The pump sounds a bit grindy to be honest but its pumping out fine?

new sounds, new machine (well old machine) but you know what I mean!

I love the high level washing, this is how it was when I was a kid, you know I think this machine will last a long long time!

If things go on it, its worth replacing is it not?

 

[bertrum]

If your using it as your daily driver I can't see it lasting that long to be honest.
How many washes do you do a week?

Normally machines that are + 25years old need a serious service.

But hey enjoy it while its there!, (Ive got one of these in the garage but only use it in emergencies or for fun).

Also the door trim is out of stock with Connect (Electruepart) I dont think it will ever come back in stock to be honest.

 

[richardc1983]

Not too fussed if its not in stock to be fair mate.

The machine is in great condition, 1 lady owner averaging 1 wash per week!

Its even got a new drum!

What could possible fail that wont be able to fixed!

 

[richardc1983]

I do about 4 washes a week!

On the 6th wash tonight!

 

[aquacycle]

Congratulations Richard . Hope it provides good service. In regards to the comment about Beko, they actually have nice high water levels...at least, mine did. Beko are great as long as you get one with a quick wash button. Otherwise, it takes about 3 days to do a wash. Thats my only problem with them.

 

[richardc1983]

I still want someone to be my service man who can come check it over and fix parts should there be any need?

Any volunteers?
