WM22 kNOB
Thanks Craig,
For the pic of the knob, I changed the drying symbols for the doughnut shape icon for the stop position, I know the QW icon's in the wrong sector, but personally, it should be in the Cottons programme for the fast spin dry phase.
In honesty, I've edited one pic of the knob, across most of the range of manual/mechanical timer machine replica's, saves time faffing about for each replica.
The manual/mechanical timer machines seem to be quite a common appearance on Ebay, there's a WD22 up for £25 atm. My Grandma had the almond fascia/door/kick plate & light brown cabinet version from 03rd Jan, til October/November 2008, great machine, even though it was like your WM22, a 1000RPM model, I usually only allow 1250RPM+ machines into my category of “worth it”, unless it’s got a good visual design, below 1200RPM, I don’t usually bother with, but it was a convenient option at the time we got it, as the previous washer’d just given up, after 09 years of unreliable survice due to the bearings.
The only prob we had with it was it tended to blow the main house fuse, so no lights, no sockets worked after tripping. It went to my Grandfather for a while because his laundry was being mixed up or lost at the launderette, when he got the WD22, Grandma upgraded to her 06 yr old Ultima WD860, which she's still got.
We only ditched it because when it ended up in storage after my Grandfather passed, I had been scouting round for my Zanussi JetSystem WJD1667W, & at the time, Mum & Dad only allowed me the one machine, so Grandma & I were forced to ditch it through Ebay. The buyers, came from somewhere near Pickering, Yorkshire, not too far from where I actually collected my WJD1667W.
The odd thing I noticed was that the dryer vent sort of hung down from the 12 o clock position of the drum, instead of being integrated into the drum/ddor seal, I noticed that unlike our WD22, the WD31 had the vent integrated to the doorseal.
My “Categories for machines are as follows:
400RPM-1000RPM = WOT > Waste Of Time
1000RPM-1200RPM = T&G > Touch & Go (Depends on design)
1200RPM-1400RPM = Ok > Some’re better than others
1400RPM-1800RPM = Worth it (Depends on design & features required)
When I've got my USB handy, I'll post a pic of the WD31 version.
