Stupid jetsystem!

But what difference would the yellow plastic on the newer ones make to stop items blocking up the system? I don't get that.

The Jetsystem we are talking about has been around for 5 years or so because I remeber AEG using this from 1998 when I was in Secondary school, this was when they updated to model range for the first time in years and years lol

That plastic part looks at though it just distrubutes the water over the clothes in a Fan like fashion and is not as strong as the ones we are talking about, I personally prefer the previous as it looks more stronger flow.

Do you know if the newer Zanussi's and AEG's do the Spin Rinses?

Mine does not!

My Zanussi from 2006 didnt do spin rinses, Neither does my Cousins AEG L86810 washing machine, In fact they work roughly in the same way! Except the AEG is tottaly silent and has out lasted my Zanussi LOL!

LAVAMAT 78800

I'm surprised because my AEG Lavamat 72640 does the spin rinses which causes a lot of turbulance when washing quilts etc. But mine is 5 years old.

I notice when the spin rinses take place the rinse cycle is shorter when it doesn't do spin rinses the rinse cycle takes longer.

Again I'm surprised I thought that all Zanussi's with the Jetsystem did the Spin Rinse.

You are correct though the the AEG and Zanussi work in a similar way. Well they share most of the same components.

I like the Jet on my AEG and it seems it works in way that if the machine manages to get the 3 spins done in the rinse, the rinse cycle shortens, if the machine doesn't do its spin rinses (when a small load is in the machine) the machine takes longer to rinse the clothes. The machine always speeds up the drum speed halfway through the rinse to almost distribution speed when tumbling on last stage when it pumps out the water.

The spin rinse only works on very absorbant loads and most full loads unless the fabrics are not very absorbant. I tested this out with machine with no clothes in and opened the black plastic pipe (on front of machine) and let the water drain out whilst machine was rinsing, this activated the spin rinse to take place, sit is activated with the Water pressure switch. Dunno if this works with Fuzzy logic, if the machine even has Fuzzy Logic as the brochure says. Update was just a marketing gimmick as AEG does not seem to provide any updates on its washing machines.

I´m really sure about that, it does not do spin rinses!
Mine is maybe of an other era, with the square silver knobs, out of the same era the washer on the pic above is.

AEG03,
I too wanted to know weather new ones did the spin-rinse like our machines, but alas as far as i'm aware, they don't. Hopefully they replaced this with some more water!

Im lookin to exchange my hotpoint for another zanussi or the new stainless steel aeg washer in the not so distant future!

I remember the first generation Jetsystem washers from 1988-1990 with the old classic Zanussi drum. These used to shower through the paddles which of course were the old metal ones.

My grandma had the TOL Electrolux WD3000T washer dryer (with the secondary opaque door plastic) which incorporated this and was one of the most fun machines to watch! During the main wash the machine would carry out 400rpm spin bursts every couple of minutes.

Unfortunately she moved house a few years ago and left this machine behind. It was built like a tank so i'm hoping it's still in use today!

I believe the very early FJ1011, FJ1013? Zanussi Jetsystem washers incorporated the same spins during the wash and was curious as to whether anyone else remembers them.

Stainless steel AEG

Is this going to be the new stainless steel AEG?!?!?!??!?!?
The UK seems to be the only one without this new style of AEG
washers.

 

[newwave1]

Jay!
We are getting these style machines! & I am considering getting the stainless model!!!!!!!!!

I remembr those machines that did the spin burts during the wash, they were good. I wonder my the AEG I have does not do this - Only spin busts in the rinse. I notice my machine alternates between slow and medium rotations during the wash, kind weired, it starts medium then slows slighty after 4seconds then speeds up again after 4 seceonds, slows after 4 secs and medium again then stops and goes the other way, its more noticable when washing quilts.

I like the new Stainless steel AEG's but I will not be buying AEG's again as they are no longer German produced, the next will be a Miele in my household. I do not feel that the AEG is any better then Zanussi as its basically the same machine with different exterior styling. Same for Bosch they no longer ooze quality like they did years ago.

The vid I've ssen of ur AEG works exactly like mine. I wonder if the newer machine that no longer do spin rinses have been replaced with more water also. I notice though that the AEG also has its paddles which scoop water to top of the drum and shower it back down, so we benefit from the power jet and the paddles - For the paddles to scoop anything there has to be a good amount of water in the machine though.

It seems our models use the bare minnimum which I like cos I don't like a lot of water to be used.

I'm glad someone remembers them! I was starting to wonder if i'd been imagining it. It's such a shame Electrolux didn't stick with the solid steel tubs from the Zanussi days. The build quality back then could certainly rival any German built machine.

When the split tub Zanussis with the plastic drum paddles came in about 1991 I never felt the machines were as stable or solid after that. I knew someone with a split tub WDJ1285 that would actually walk round the floor on spin. The old design FL1012 and 'Z' Series machines never did that!

I'm currently running a 95 degree wash on my super quiet Z9191T. 25 years old can't be bad!

Tom,
My fj1033 i've just aquirred is in our tin shed outside on ceramic tiles, it doesn't shift at all on spin, i was expectin a bit of a difference from my solid drum zanussi w/d.

Ahh im not insane then, i thought those zanussis span in the wash! Was it really every few minutes? I heard a rumour this only happened when the heavy soil button was pressed?

Recirc. pumps...

Maytag's FL washers (MAH4000 series) had a recirculation pump due to the liquid soap settling in the sump while sitting in delay start. The idea was to get that soap up out of the sump and back into the load when the unit started washing.

 

[hotpoint9534]

Darren,
I've only seen the Electrolux WD3000T spin in the wash, there was no heavy soil button on this. You selected 'B' main wash on the dial and then selected the temperature on the other dial which also switched the machine on! If 'C' quick wash wash chosen there were no spins during the wash.

If i remember correctly the tumbling was something like this:
CW - CW - AntiCW - AntiCW - CW - CW - AntiCW - *AntiCW Spin* -CW - CW....
... and so on throughout the main wash. So it was every couple minutes or so.

Also worth noting that on Delicates and Woollens there was no Jetsystem at all on those cycles. At the end of the final rinse the machine would fill to just above the middle of the glass then stop. You had to manually move the timer to spin.

With regard to the WDJ1285, it had some programmer trouble where the machine would burst into spin before the water drained out and this was the main cause of the unbalancing!

Here is the manual for the WD3000T:

If anyone ever comes across one of these models I'd gladly pay over the odds for it. A truly amazing piece of machinery!

My Granparents had an Electrolux WH1025 and "matching" dishwasher BW320. I loved those machines! I did realise when i was small that they were the same as Zanussi washing machines as my auntie had a WD9091i

The dishwasher was really quiet too. Always smelt of lemons haha

I would also love to have one of the black door machines again!!

Heres a picture i found in Robs collection

I also like the Blackdoor E.luxes. My aunt has washer WH2900 and matching dryer WT252, both with black door.
