Service quartz club

[brummybear]

I just brought a Service quartz off a farmer in Darby for £10. He said it just pops the earth trip when you switch it on. Although if you hold your finger on the door open button it dose open as it pops the trip.
I have not investigated further other then taking the top and back off yet. This will happen over the week end when I have my tester and spanner set with me.

Hers some pics so far I hope you like them. It seems cleanish and the rubber is intact.

Size matters......

Bigger the better as far as the photos are concerned!! Shows all the detail.

Well done on obtaining a quartz - great machines. I have two quartz models and on one of them the wiring to the door interlock had been damaged by the outer tub banging into the wires probably during a really bad unbalanced spin so might be worth checking in case they have shorted. The other thing that went on mine was the heater thermal fuse.

I'll send you the wiring diagram for the previous model that might help

Thank you

I would be most great full of all help. I have only ever played with Hoptoint top loaders. So this is all new,

Servis quartz

Great news, glad you saved another prize example of the "Best of British", simple and easy to work on, spares still around, just, look forward to hearing the diagnosis, lovely chevron drum!!

My dads set still going...

 

[supermaticjames]

Has anyone noticed that the motor fitted is not of the usual GEC/Hotpoint design? I wonder is this a replacement or an original. I'm intrigued...

Motors

They are replacement motors James, mums had the original round first by Servis then GEC, then this later square motor...

Heres the link to Steves old thread as it has a wealth of information in it, as the series progresses like most manufacturers update components, the quartz series had minor changes BUT the control boatds where upgraded on each main series change,
i.e. 600, 601, 6027 and 6030, in some cases on replacement components you had to change the wiring loom or reverse wires etc...thats the issue if you swap controls, boards parts etc, you risk blowing the boards if you dont change like for like...

Servis Quartz Club

Well I have finally joined the Servis Quartz club with my Quartz Plus 6035 which I picked up last week. Had a right rigmarole getting it as it was near Manchester so I arranged for a courier to collect and deliver which turned into a right farce (don't use Parcel Monkey) so ended up doing a...

Who made the replacement motors? I'm guessing they are European?

Update

It may be a while before I post any progress as I have busted my back.

Surgery is scheduled for the 22nd of May.

Look for chafed wires first. If wiring OK disconnect the motor plug and try it. If it still trips put the motor plug back, disconnect both heater wires and try it. Also look at the mains filter which goes to the mains cable.

Servis Quartz!

Hi These machines are cracking, I have the 3305 from the same range, piano keys but it is a timer controll machine, and it has the Spin care drum. I also have a Servis Quartz MK601, the rarer version of the early Quartz machines. It had a new tub unit, motor and weights and modules last weekend, with the help of Chestermike, Keymatic2303 and Chanceskydiver, who also provided the donor machine As others have said, check for damaged wires. Sorry to hear about your back, hope you make a speedy recovery

Chris.

And the MK601....

...Obtained it in early Jan, paid £20 for it, un aware that the outer tub was totally corroded and beyond fixing, it had been like that for quite some time. If you'd like, I've got a few pics I took when it was fixed and I can post them. But now it works like new, sadly its the main washer in the collection until I get a newer one (Not too long now!. I say sadly as it is old, and as much as I like it I dont want to wear it out!

All the best
