Help Support :

Hi Lee, I do have the information you are looking for. However, I have misplaced my Electrolux Distriparts CD Rom. When I find it I'll send you the relavent information.

Tom.
 
A big thank you

Thank you Tom, diagrams are great will help with the project and I will be able to see if I can use this machine, looking good from what I can see but will have to spend time studying the plans. I’m working on the switch bank and display module at the moment.

Many thanks again, Lee
 
Hi Lee

Really glad Tom was able to help.

I am afraid my knowledge of Zanussi, post 1990, is very sketchy and i dont have any technical information for any zanussi machines, so I wasnt able to help with your request for information.

Doesn't mean that I am not interested in what you are doing - keep us updated with how your project is going.

Cheers

p.s hope the 95622 is still healthy.
 
Is there a particular reason why

so many members of our group from the UK insist on segregating themselves from the rest of us?
I don't see the Italians, Germans, Dutch, Australians, Canadians or US-Americans prefacing their threads with such clear segregation. The South Americans are positively jubilant when they can discuss differences across borders.
And don't, please, give me that nonsense about how UK appliances and topics are 'special' and thus the rest of us need not trouble ourselves.
Personally, I find topics posted in other countries fascinating and am always happy to read about them. All but a select group being asked from the get-go not to comment is, in an open forum, a bit unusual, tho'.
 
Segregation

Hello Kevin,
I sincerely hope you don't find my postings segregating? I would not want that to be the case.
I really enjoy reading about the various washer designs around the World, I find the engineering of the GM Frigidaire Unimatics most fascinating and unique with their automotive strength mechanisms and direct drive 1140RPM spin speed.

David,

Nope, I don't mean your posts. I am referring to the way quite a few UK members preface their subject drifts to make clear that they only desire input from the UK crowd.
By common consensus, the Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Swedish and Netherlands members all write in English. Oh, sure some German and Greek shows up here occasionally, but we try hard to be open for everyone to understand us.
Hardly a month or two go by without someone either commenting 'well, I see the moment a UK respondent writes in, the thread dies' or a similar posting to this one's orginal query as to why nobody is answering.
I don't know, maybe I'm way out of line here and its ok and normal for one set of participants to exclude all the others...just, it doesn't feel right to me.
Of course, not all UK members do this, don't get me wrong.
Still, I wonder if there's a valid reason for this segregation? Truly vintage UK appliances are fascinating and, sadly, one can hardly make the argument that any modern UK appliances are in any way special or different from the Alltagssuppe, if I may be permitted a pretty clear German phrase, which pass for white goods now-a-days in Europe.
 
I think it's just a matter of a whole different cast of vintage appliances across the pond that we here in the U.S. either can't relate to or will never get our hands on. And it works both ways. Who outside of the U.S. & Canada can relate to a center dial Maytag?

Perhaps as a result of the FL phenomenon, more of our modern laundry appliances are similar on both sides of the Atlantic now and will likely continue to be going forward. I see a lot of interaction on the Deluxe forum, which sort of bears me out.
