    Hi,

    Just moved into a new house, used the waching machine once and the top bit where you put the powder (powder tray??) has blocked up – the washing machine is completely unbranded and can’t find anything like it to find out how to take the tray out and unblock it (the conditioner area is blocked with powder for some strange housemate reason)…

    Been told there should be a trigger to release the tray but have no idea…

    It says ‘A Wash performance’, ‘1200 Automatic’, has 4 buttons (‘Aquaplus Rine’, ‘Half Load’, ‘Spin Dry’ and ‘On/Off’ with a BIG orange light same size as the buttons. Also – two dials – one for temperature the other for program – which are spring loaded so push it in, grab the dial and turn, then pushes back out. The handle is pretty basic too…

    Any ideas of a brand??

    Thanks,
    matt11

    Looks like a Hygena/Diplomat/Servis 😀 not a bad machine TBH
    If you remove the wood kickboard, the model and seriel should be behind there on the machine next to filter aperture.

    PS – Sorted size aswell 😉

    Rah! It is a Merloni beastie.

    Remove soap drawer by pulling forward ’tilit stops. Hook your thumbs into the drawer and give a short hard tug; it should pop out. Don’t do this with the drawer front, it will break.

    Thanks everyone!! Sorted!!!! 😀 😀 😀

    Any ideas why it blocked up?? It was full of conditioner mixed with powder – only the conditioner tray though…

    Was it someone putting too much washing powder in I ask??

    An’ thanks for the compliments…like my clean clothes….lol

    Hi
    Usual suspect is the force of the water entering the drawer, blasting the powder everywhere.
    Try turning the cold fill tap to the machine down, to stop this from happening. 🙂

    Re: Strange washing machine….

    Hi

    Apologies for reviving an ancient topic!

    I’m currently trying to find a manual for the very machine matt11 posted a picture of on Wed Jul 25, 2007 10:20 pm.

    I can’t check for the model/serial number because I’m at the opposite end of the country to the machine, and won’t be back for a long while.

    Can anybody help, ideally by pointing me in the direction of a link to the manual?

    Much obliged.
