I have now got the wash dog home and have surveyed the repairs.
The machine needs a new knob on the timer. I have managed to get for one pound a patterned knob with a white insert not a silver one.
The water valve knob is OK apart from the silver insert coming out, perhaps this can be glued in?
The motor works fine despite the seller thinking the motor was faulty. It was simply not being activated by the timer due to the knob being broken.
The pump seems completely seized up. It will not turn at all by hand and the belt simply spins round it.
The machine needs a new fill hose as this is missing.
So my repairs are:
Change timer knob and if a traditional silver and black one comes up I will change the patterned onto this.
Attempt to repair pump. If unrepairable I will get another.
Change all rubber belts. Pump, spin and pulsator
Attempt to source a fill hose.
With regards to the fill hose can I make a hose. I want one to fit a mixer type tap. I have seen on YouTube a wash dog owner using a Hozelok mixer tap adapter. Can I use a normal washinge machine hose and jubilee clip this to the spin can nozzle and perhaps use a Hozelok adapter on the other end.
I will post up some photos of the machine soon. It is in very good cosmetic condition.
