well, that is pretty much it.
The machine has had:
replacement facia
replacement programmer dial
replacement chrome door
replacement power drawer
replacement powder drawer facia
replacement bearings
replacement lid side strips
replacement waste water hose
replacement front door seal
&
replacement sump hose
I think that is everything.
There are still one or two things to do:
replacement side strips.....we will be keeping our eyes out for a suitable pair, with the correct attachment fixtures.
we will be keeping our eyes open for any 956XX facia.....with something so fragile, you can never have too many (a 95620 one would be great).
one or two of the more major paintwork dings may get touched up.....the one on the lid, above the powder drawer is a particularly irritating one for me.
But, other than that, me and Rob are really pleased with the results. it is great to see and hear a New Generation in full flight again and i loved this particular model as a kid. i'd never have thought that, nearly 25 years after they were introduced, i would finally own one.
Have just had a browse through the contributory postings - apologies for not answering these questions earlier...
Hi RobM...i think the last vid posted might answer your question re:different spins.
My mums machine would go into distribute, ramp upto spin and then afterwards decelerate back to distribute, but would not stop.
The 95620 decelerates down to stop, which i never knew it did. Indeed i remember the looks on mine, rob's and the cardiff friends faces when it did decelerate to stop. Written across them was the comment 'well, i never knew it did that!'.
Can be a b1tch rebalancing, with small loads though, as the machine snatches straight back upto distribute speed, which can cause the load to attach itself to one part of the drum.
Hope that this was the different spin that you were referring to.
Hi David...i think this machine was programmed differently to your washer-dryer. Doesnt do intermediate tumbles in between distribute.
What model washer-dryer did you have - i seem to remember you mentioning 9934 before?
My 9901 didn't (i think) do intermediate tumbles. Perhaps it was a slightly later feature. cheers for your comment.
If I have missed anyone - again, apologies.
Can I take this opportunity to thank, also on Robs behalf, our mate in Cardiff without whose help all this could not have been done.
Thanks for sourcing many of the main replcement parts and components, offering advice, grafting and generally being a superb bloke.
Thanks for helping collect it with me as well.
Without your it would still be a total mess.
Cheers mate - you are very much appreciated.
All the best to you all.
cheers
paul
