The drum looks slightly different to other Zanussis of this age, the paddles look metal rather than plastic, were they?
It looks very little used tho, with all the stickers on the door handle & glass. A nice simple looking machine.
Looks like it uses an adequate amount of water too, unlike todays Zanussis - my parents 2007 Essential is most infuriating to watch, with it's puddle of water in the drum! :-(

it had steel padles, and i reckon it got a good bit of use, the bearings are starting to go it it. yes it did use a good amount of water and even though it was only 800rpm it spun the cloths quite well. yes i was thinking about the drum ive never seen that style of drum in a zanussi before.
Yeh, i wonder if it's had the drum replaced at some point. Even the back of it doesn't look like a Zanussi drum. Weird!
Shame about the bearings - i'd never have known it'd had alot of use from the photos - the outside seems to have worn really well.
Ive noticed how good the older machines are at spinning aswell actually - i just plumbed in my FL1012 today, and although it's only 1000 spin compared to Mums Zanussi Essential with 1400 spin, the clothes actually feel drier in my machine!

The drum
It's got the Tricity Bendix drum, fascia and door. I'm guessing since this is a BOL machine it shares the same parts as the Tricity Bendix machines (which was the BOL brand from electrolux at the time)
I haven't seen one before. I wonder if this machine was designed for the Continental and Irish market and not sold in Britain?

FL882
These models were actually made in Spain and have nothing to do with Nexus models. They used the old wrap-around cabinet as found on 80s Zanussis. The give away is the rectangular filter door. The only difference is that the cabinet has been made slightly more rounded to make it look more 'modern'.
These were the bottom of the line machines, the drum is the original (metal paddles) and similar to those found in many Tricity Bendix machines. The outer tub is plastic, the older vitreous enamel tubs having become too expensive to produce. The dispenser and other internal parts are the same as older 80s Zanussis, and probably a way of using up older parts.
Have a look at the link below showing the exploded parts diagrams, you'll see what I mean about the internals being similar to older machines (except the drum).
Hope this has been of some help,
Tom.

i always thought they were based on 80s machines
i wonder if the delta is a copy of this
the FL812, it looks like the same machine, only the FL812 had more programmes, it went to programme W, and the delta only goes to Letter N or P.
they look very similar as they both have small portholes

Kyle,
Your correct the delta is based on the traditional machines as are the old tricity bendix machines! They operate vvvvv similar!!

Hi Zanussi Lover,
No, Not the same as the above machine, the FL882 was one of the first change over machines, from the solid cabinet to the split cabinet design.
Interestingly the FL882 from 1996 had the solid cabinet but still had the Carboran splittable drum.( so image what doing a bearing job is like when you cant split the cabinet!, bloody hard!).

Hi Bertrum,
Do you have any idea why a different inner drum was used on these, despite the carboran tub?

Hi Tom,
This early inner drum was used on these solid cabinet machines before they changed to the split cabinet machines which had two different inner drum types that they used for years and years before the introduction of the IZ range which had a different carboran drum and cross piece.
Interestingly a latter range of solid cabinet machines was brought out about five years later and marketed under the Tricity Bendix range, (cant remember the model number). However this later machine had one of the later inner drums and cross pieces.
I used to work for service force when the first carboran tubs come out so i have changed a few hundred.
I am boring myself now talking about inner drums so logging off.
bye
