New Acquisitions!

Hey all! Guess what I now own! A Creda Compact 3! It is a tiny dryer, smaller than my old Whit Knight! The dryer is in a poorly state, and could do with a good clean up and a new belt. I would like to know where you can get a belt for (if you can still get them) as this is what's broken on it. Apparently it works 100% fine other than that. Also I am going to be getting a 16 year old Creda Energy Save dryer soon, and the WTA2000 has sold. Plus I dismantled the WMA22. Here is a brief pic of the gem!

Hi Chris

Looks like you've got your work cut out with the dryers. I'm sure it will clean up lovely and it's quite Hooveresque with that knob!

How is the 9605? I'm about to pick up another tomorrow which has the turquoise writing on it so hope I can get it up and running as I prefer that styling.

Hiya Stephen!

Yup, I certainly do haha! Yes, it is sort of Hoover if you get me, on the ratings sticker on the back it says TI Jackson. Are these made by Jackson? I have seen similar Jackson dryers.

9605 : Yes, that works 100% fine, only used it once and it's pretty clear why lol! Congratulations on the second 9605, I do have to admit, I do prefer them with the green writing, thinks it's title 'Low Energy' and green go well together if you get me on that!

It popped into my mind that I have a belt off of a Hotpoint 17230 Super Dryer. As a last resort (if I can't track down a new belt), would I be able to use that?

Cheers, Chris.

Hey Chris

I'm no expert on dryers but you could give the belt a go. I'm sure the designs of the 3kg Creda dryers had similar belt sizes. Try the link below bt hey don't show your model but they do show for similar machines

Good luck

Greetings from the States!!
Yes, Creda exists (existed?) in the US. As proof, here is a shot of my Creda Supaspeed washer and SensAir Dryer. Until last week, they both ran perfectly.
(Actually, the dryer needed a new belt in 2003 - cost me about $70 to have it replaced.)
Now the washer has stopped going through the cycles, so I don't know what to do, what to replace it with. I don't want to replace it, as it is a good washer, and fits the space nicely, but I doubt if I can find the replacement parts.
Anyway, I bought these both new in 1996, the washer was $1075, and the dryer $785, and the stacking kit $30. They have been great performers, and I am sorry that Creda is not really around any more, I might buy a Creda to replace the washer, if I can't fix it.

Congratulations on getting 16 years out of that washer, you must have taken good care of it.

I am not an expert on these machine but I think they were manufactured (at this time) by Hotpoint in the UK. These machines were very popular and there is an abundance of information about them, so all is not lost.

Some information will help though, the primary thing is does it run on 110V or 230V? By that I mean does it plug into a regular socket or is it connected into a dryer line (supply)? If the latter then it is possible that you may be able to get parts from the UK, plenty of machine from this manufacturer will have been parted out.

Is the machine totally dead? or will it fill and then not advance? If you advace the programmer by hand will the drum turn? More information could help us diagnose the problem. If we are not able to help you on this, fear not, there appear to be a variety of European sized models available in the US too.

If you do not get much response here over the next couple of days (as it is buried in another thread) I suggest you make a new thread in the Deluxe forum to raise the question again. Make sure you put Creda Superspeed Washer in the title as that will alert guys here and I am sure such a thread will attract interest.

good luck
