New machines and goodbye indesit

[fido]

Don't forget to tell them about the plug as they almost certainly need a new socket where the Bosch was living.

Bosch WTA2000

Fido, Yep I will do when I see them on Monday.

I have dried a few sheets in it and they came out dry in 15 mins, but the back is rather warm. Is it supposed to get hot enough o you can't put your hand on the top left of the rear?

Thanks, Chris

They do get quite hot but check there is a good flow of air coming out of the vent hose. Like any dryer, it needs the air flow to stop the heater from getting too hot.

Bosch WTA2000

Fido : Thanks for that, there is quite a breeze coming out the tube when in use.

The machine is now above the WM64, Candy under the bench and the WT960G is going to be popped where this stood. Pics later

That is so strange that your school should have that Bosch dryer - mine had exactly the same one (alongside a Hoover Electron 1100). As far as I am aware, these were made by Crosslee and not actually a Bosch machine.

Hi Aquacycle. School do not actually own the dryer, it is mine. And yes, it is made by Crosslee PLC. I wish my school had an Electron 1100! would be mote fun than this but I do like it! I will be filming it next Monday now, forgot the camera

 

[aquacycle]

My primary school had a Hoover Logic 1300 & a White Knight dryer in the food tech rooom and a Creda Supaspeed in the kitchen. My secondary school had 2 food tech rooms - one had an Electron 1100 and the Bosch WTA2000, the other had a Zanussi Quick & Clean and the Electron dryer to match the washer in the other room. We also had a Maytag toploader and AEG dryer in the PE department.

Made by crosslee...

Those dryers where designed exclusively for Philips (or by Philips I don't know...) in the late 1980ties Philips sold off it's major appliances division to Whirlpool, who had already a design comming form the Bauknecht designers. The plans where sold too Crosslee who build those dryers for several companies, only changing facia or ever just the badge. When bosch changed the design of the dryer they had a gap in the BOL dryer section, they filled temperary with a machine they bought and rebadged. They did that serveral times (there is a Bosch timed dryer designed by Bauknecht aswell). Even earlier they had a rebadged model that was sold by Siemens, Bosch, but also by Blomberg and even Olympia (last one only in Belgium). We had a rebadged Olympia for 19 years.

The Food tech room in my high school had a 1400spin Whirlpool washing machine and a Bosch WTA2000 tumble dryer as above. In the PE department they had 2 huge tumble dryers like launderette ones, a top load washer made of steel and a pedal operated spin dryer. (They all looked pretty old.)

askomiele, it is not uncommon in the UK to see a dryer made by Crosslee under a variety of names, the most popular of which are White Knight, Philips, Zanussi and Carlton. I believe the Philips branded dryers were the first. The interal design has remained pretty much unchanged since the late 1970's and they remain one of the UK's only domestic products to still be made here.

As far as Bauknecht-made-Whirlpool dryers go, I don't think I've ever seen one of those here. Whirlpool seem to be a slightly odd company. In the early 90's, the Whirlpool Aqualine was a very popular, relatively high performing and reliable machine - I know of a few of these still in use. However, the Philips-Whirlpool washer/dryer than ran alongside it was Merloni made and an attrotious, complete waste of a machine, so I'm not entirely sure who actually made and owned what names.

All the Whirlpool dryers I have seen were all branded Philips-Whirlpool and made by Crosslee.

 

[fido]

Yes, they also did a gas version of the Crosslee, the only domestic gas dryers I've seen.

My new beauty

My new Hoover SE220. Dates from 1999 and cost me £10 off Gumtree. It needs a new seal as the current one is very mouldy! The only fault is that the power button needs pushing in to get it to work. It's not plumbed in yet, just in the hall in situ for the moment. Does anyone know how to get it to work without it needing pushing in all the time? Thanks in advance...

Hoover SE220

What a beauty!Congratulations mate, glad you have it and not me. I think that the front is welded on to the front of the machine, but hopefully you can work around that. Can't wait to see it in its glory when I see you soon!

Wow! Odd coinvidence as im saving for a hoover dynamic to replace that dodgy hottie (hv6l105p)

Anyway, you could try putting a strip of tape that has a cork on it infront of the power button and it should stay in, well, it works for the servis easidryer lol
