Hoover Commodore
We had a fairly similar machine from around 1992 - (Feb) 2009, when ours developed a slight leak/electrical fault and was stopping mid-spin. The old repairman condemned the machine - stating it was not worth fixing. The machine was also sqeaking, squawking and making other odd noises during agitation.
Suds save was used a lot in the early years, as it was using rain water, which was in scarce supply at our old, old house! In Perth, we had the inner or outer (cannot remember which) drum replaced around 2003, as the machine left rusty bits on the clothes. I think I still have the towels in use from then, which have those spots on them! They actually looked more sinister than what they were. Lol.
Our old machine, after this one was a Simpson SWT802, HE. One with practically no holes in the wash drum. The recirculation pump died/seized sometime in late 2009, but the washer showed no error codes (Beeping/Blinking lights). We had a "daughter board" fitted in April 2011, after it decided to stop working. We toyed with the idea of getting a Maytag at this point - but ended up not, and got a Miele in September 2012 instead. The Simpson had a notorious "Getting Stuck" phase, where it would fill 1/4 of the way, stop for 5 minutes, then start filling again. It didn't matter whether you used Auto or manual water levels, it still did this AND would sense the water level. Yeah, so much for "Manual Control..."
This is the machine - Linked is the thread I made detailing this machine some time back last year:
Who can guess what this thread will be about? I'll give some hints: There is a dispenser for a Rinse-Aid substance or Rinse-Aid "Alike" substance No detergent dispenser A variety of cycles Electronic Controls Can anyone possibly suggest what I'll write about? What Brand and How Old?
