Hi. I have the very ancient model above that is way beyond the use by date but has limped on for years. Has sprung a leak quite early into a wash cycle, maybe in under 5 minutes, spotted it when my feet got wet. Quite a major leak rather than a drip. Haven’t pulled it out to look yet but made me wonder if anyone has a service manual (circuit diagrams etc) for it please? I’m an electronics engineer so am used to tinkering and like to get a better understanding of how something works. Thanks for any info.
S.There’s a blast from the past!
Manuals etc, unless someone happens to have any old paper things (remember those?) you won’t get any info I don’t think. Not that I think they’d help you for that issue as you need to find what’s leaking.
But the bigger problem you face is that most all parts are obsolete.

as ken said its probably a no on workshop manuals
as for the leak, take the lid and back off and put a bit of water in and get your torch out and look for it

Yes that is the 1000 rpm model fitted with an old world induction motor.Probably leaking from the dispenser to tank hose where it fits to the tank – use glue. From memory your tank was metal enamelled (a dark purple / black tank) which may well have a small rust hole that can be fixed using Quik steel epoxy putty (price 7-10 quid retail) so long as the rust hole is not near either of the 2 damper tank blades. Use corundum paper to scratch the enamel to key the putty, the glass enamel is only about hardness 5 to 6 mohs. As for wiring diagram I had / have (probably had) the Electra Power House version service manual (same machine as was the Eurotec version all made for various other firms by A Merloni – company went bust (as do so many!) years ago. I will have a look for you today and leave either good news or, as I suspect, bad news because I think it got chucked when I moved house a year ago – if so that is of course bloody typical; but will look for you.
As a general guide to parts availability you can still get the 8 tag 1000spin spin pcb (about 30 quid) though it is usually just that large 6.4ish ceramic resistor that fails, the pump, the heater, door handle, the V belt 3ls 465, door lock, the door seal- think on your model it was the one without the spout at 6 o/clock position. And the bearings which could be 6204 6306 and oil seal size 35x62x10. The rear tank seal, as is the tank, is obsolete as far as is known. I think the dispenser / tank hose is obsolete – has yours got a black rubber branch hose that goes to the side of the top rear dispenser???.
If your tank is s/steel rather than enamelled ignore everything as above except the tank suspension mounts potential leak and the ceramic resistor comment.Looks like many of the parts have been mixed up when listed on the trade sites.I will have a look for you today and leave either good news or, as I suspect, bad news because I think it got chucked when I moved house a year ago – if so that is of course bloody typical; but will look for you.
Well had a good look and the result is I cannot find it. I think along with other stuff it all got chucked, sorry, typical!
