Zanussi lindo 100 sussed it reviewed it now not sure

I agree Dascot, not really the machines fault if the floor isn't level...

It would be interesting if you posted a video, I expect this "screeching" you hear is just the whine of a standard brushed motor.

I just wish I could wave a magic wand at it to level it off

That comment for me has summed up your whole approach to this problem, you are not the only person on here that has a machine under a fixed work top, if pulling it out and putting it back is such a problem then wet the floor where the feet will sit with washing up liquid the feet will slide easier, but you are not showing any signs of having taking any of the advice given, as you say you want to just wave a wand and the problem will go away, maybe pay a fitter to do it all for you or see if there is a suitable app on your phone.

I am out

Take a chill pill Hairyguard. Seriously chill!

No matter what the issue is, it will get sorted out in the future. It's not a case of life and death here. Many suggestions have been given to you on here.

Just get on and deal with it! We have tried to give advice and suggestions...

A spirit level with a magnetic side

I am sorry guys but this annoyance is doing my nut in, I am sorry for getting peed off. I am at work right now and I have had a look in our tools bag, and I am now holding in my hand a spirit level with a magnetic side on it. so I can align the spirit level on all four corners on the bottom of the machine at floor level, ensuring the level is alignment with all bottom edges of the machine. I have a torch as well to see my way working towards getting it perfectly level, if this fails then I will suspect there is a problem with suspension. I am sorry for biting, as I hate failing xxxxxxx

So, I took some videos of our AEG and Bauknecht to show you "normal" drum movement. Further, I tried to show you that these machines are pretty stable even though they vibrate quite a bit. Sorry for the horrid sound quality.

I know

I know what I have to do see the last message, henene4 compared to what you have shown me the lindo has a much faster response time. Those machines drag their feet so to speak, the distribution prep to spin works in this way drains, the pumps will throw out water as the drum turns, one way then turn the other to loosen the load. The pump will stop but the drum will turn anti clock wise and keep going until there is a build up of water the pump will then start and stop. The drum keeps turning this time on a slow fast turn to evenly distribute the load to fill in any gaps around the drum, if the machine likes this it will give a little slow spurt spin then continue slowly turning the pump will start again, then it ramps up to 800 revs, but its that slow spurt spin thats the problem the drum will bounce backwards and forwards and begin knocking. But this will cease and ramp up to 800 then 1200 then slow up then ramp up again to a quick hi flick spin. This happens on all 3 interim spins and in the lead up to the main spin, last night the 2nd interim spin was very violent so I had to pause it and reset and restart it.

The Bauknecht has an inverter motor?? I'd love that on my Whirlpool!

 

[henene4]

Bauknecht as part of Whirlpool has a contract with a big online shop called Otto here in Germany. They offer a new model each year for the same price and service package. Its always the basic line model with 4 years warranty and free removal of your old machine.
The models are always named the same way: First digit states the capacity, second the spinspeed and the last 2 the release date.
They had a 6412 which had a standard motor.
Then the 6413, which was only upgraded with the dosage aid feature, still had a standard motor.
Our 6414 was the first of that line with a brushless motor.
This year, they offer the 7415 and 7615. As the numbers say, bigger labeled capacity and a 1600rpm version. Of course with brushless motor.

Way off balance

On testing the balance of the lindo washer with the spirit level on both sides of the machine on the floor side, it is in fact way off level the spirit level is magnetised on one side. I need to lower all feet and go back to the beginning, I wont do it today as I have no time, So guys when time will allow I will do it, then I will get back to you thanks for being patient and I am sorry for almost loosing it. Bear in mind the work top is fixed and the floor is on a back slant, I will win and sort this.

Leaky Zanussi Lindo 100

I have got a Zanussi Lindo 100 and it has leaked from the soap drawer intermittently since I got it. I have had the engineer out three times and he says he can't find a problem and it must be problems with the water pressure. I have video evidence that it is leaking and yet Technical support say the engineer cannot find a problem so there is no problem and they can't replace it. John Lewis, from whom I bought it also say that if they engineer cannot find a problem they can't replace it. I am really not happy because I have a substandard machine with a leak and noone will accept responsibility. Can any suggest what I can do short of smashing it up and mailing it back to them?

 

[dascot]

First question: have you tried adjusting the water pressure by turning the tap off a little bit? If so, did it still leak?

When did you buy the machine? It would be worth contacting John Lewis again and stating that you believe it's not fit for purpose due to the leaking - this will be under the Consumer Rights Act.
