Hey all!
I was looking to see if I could find help from the aficionados as I've contacted Singer to no avail (they now only offer support for sewing machines).
So I'm currently living at a house in Portugal that was built in the late 80s and the top floor was furnished at the time. There are lots of old appliances here that still work great because they're fairly straight-forward in use. I have two washers - the one on the ground floor was put there in the early 2000s (it's some Teka model for which I could find the manual pretty quickly online) and the one on the top floor. They're both front-loaders (top-loaders were never really a thing in this country for some reason).
With the latter, online it's like it never existed. It looks to be from the 80s (the design, white and green-brown color scheme, etc) and it is branded as Singer LV 2400; on the back it has a sticker saying it's from Spanish Singer/built in Spain. I can't find anything about it anywhere and I'm assuming it was originally some other design built under license by Singer to be sold here, but that still doesn't give me much because I've no idea what Singer España were building around that time and it's not on the internet either. It works perfectly as far as I can tell, my problem is that the programs are all numbers (1-12) and it says nothing about them anywhere. Because of that, I can only bring myself to wash super sturdy fabrics using program 1 because that's generally the strongest program on machines. It's ridiculously simple - as far as controls go, it has a switch in the middle with a snowflake sign above it (from my experience it seems when it's turned down with a visible bar it's for cold and when turned up, with the bar hidden, it regulates the temperature according to the program) and to the right there's your typical selector (this machine comes on when you pull it "out" and shuts down if you push it in). I'll add pictures. Simultaneously it has tray compartments for pre-washing, regular detergent, bleach and softener, so it's not *that* simple.
Does anybody have any idea what the original model is (or ways to check that) so I could know what the programs do?
Thanks in advance!
