never knew merloni made machines for frigidaire

 

[dj-gabriele]

I had two of those Merloni-made "Frigidare" machines: one badged as "Electramatic" that lasted 15 years till the pump rubber pipe broke and it flooded our laundry and another, badged "WegaWhite" that lasted 6 years until the bearings went, we had it repaired and when I moved out of the place still worked, it should be approaching 10 years of service.
Both were 400 rpm spin machines and they had time controlled heating with hotter washes in summer than in winter because of incoming water temperature! But regardless of that, washed and rinsed marvelously! I loved the 4 deep rinses (with timed fill after the initial low level fill) but the clothes were almost dripping wet!

Interesting...

the different use of names and manufacturers, can spot the servis similarities, but you seemed to have a very different range of machines available to you..

and yes Frigidaire, is the name used now on new machines Mark??

the true walkingmachines

I really wish that ChrisbkUK's Diplomat has better shock adsorbers than freestanding models ...

all the antoniomerloni.it washers i had to deal with have ever been walkingmachines no matter of the slow spin and proper level.

The ones i used luckily had a thermostatic knob control, agree with Gabriele about water abundance. Pity they start draining as soon as they reach the half glass door level in the rinses

 

[ariston4life]

my frigidaire did that to...on the rinses on the synthtics or delicates cycle used to tumble while filling then immigiatly after it stopped filling it would begin to empty... we had our frigidaire repaired one...torn door seal somehow a sissors managed to get in the machine, anyway he said our one was made by belling, put the new seal came from fagor...confusing?? you never know whos making what machines these days.

Belling never made washing machines, it would have been made by Fagor.

Belling

In August 2000 my grandparents replaced an 8 year old Philco machine with a Belling WashWize 1100 machine which was bought through a local independant whom sadly no longer exists.

It was a Gorenje machine I think having seen the exact same machine badged up as so.

Lasted 8 years but was unreliable after the 4th year due to the timer sticking and stopping the wash. Seemed to be well built in other areas though.

Will have a look to see if I can find a pic
