That sealent is the Dogs dangly bits 😯 how much is it? cant find any mention of price on there web site.

I paid about 8 quid for it and it’s available from ‘your independant builders merchant’ … for me that was City Electrical Factors. Apparently you should also use their solvent for ‘tooling off’ .. being as it sticks to wet fingers ..!

But if you give the distributors a call I’m sure they will tell you:

Email: info@ctechuk.co.uk
Telephone: 01842 828230

No connection etc.

All the best ..

But if they give me more than a couple of tubes it’s open season. 😉

We’ll test it and I may send some (if they send me some) to certain flightless bird to evaluate. 😉

FWIW I tried four ‘sealants’ on the smooth outside (being worst case) of the Zanussi plastic tub, to see what stuck best.

Automotive Tigerseal, Hi Mod Silicone, Unibond Silicone sealant and CT1.

All peeled off fairly easily (and cleanly) after about 12 hours, may have stuck better if left to cure longer and / or the surface had been keyed up a little.

All the best ..

Ere,

I was giving that Zanussi a service wash earlier and on pump-out I heard the sound of running water … but like it was running on the floor! 🙁

I quick glance and I saw water pouring over the top of the stand pipe .. 🙁

Shut off machine and found the lower end of the standpipe and all of the trap was down to about 15mm diameter. This didn’t seem to be an issue for the Ariston but the Zanussi has a larger output pipe and therefore overan the abilities of the drain.

I’ve just stripped it all down, unblocked, cleaned, re-assembled and tested and all seems well again (phew). 😉

I didn’t realise the ZWF1431W had the water pump off a jet boat .. I guess the ‘Jetsystem’ label on the front should have been a clue!

All the best ..

It only relates to the water spray system by way of a recirc pump. 😉

Most of the pumps in them, especially the washers, are bog standard Askol affairs although the ratings may vary.

Well this badger must be up the higher end ratings wise .. that or the output pipe being larger in diameter than both the Lavamat and AWD12 offered less resistance?

I actually first heard the water backing up the standpipe (like a large bird whistle) then heard it flowing (quite loudly) over the top of the standpipe.

No harm done as it just gave me an oppertunety to wash the carpet tile that got dirty from the ADW12 bearing. 😉

All the best ..

Leave you lot on your own for an hour……. I don’t know. :rolls:

So, I’ve got to grab the next passing sealed tub Zanussi and chop it up, have I? Bound to be one along soon!

The AWD12 (if you feel lucky) – I had the dubious pleasure of getting the dryer going on one this afternoon. A quick look at the construct of the tub itself suggests that the tub front is seriously attached, but the rear is simply a rolled edge, no doubt with a seal or sealant inside. Peeling back the edge might let the back panel come off…….. hint, hint 😀 .

I do enjoy an adventure.

Yup, peasy, if I can do it!

Well, this particular AWD12 is awating a call from someone (anyone) saying they want it for spares, or time for me to break it and stick the bits on eBay. Failing all of that then I noticed the scrap man is back on his rounds again .. (thank you China!). 😉

I do enjoy an adventure.

And me, but I have limits!

Ere, if you searh this site for AWD12 you find thousands of mentions (when I was looking for help for the AEG Lavamat 6100 Digitronic I think I found 1). Does this simply reflect the popularity of the make / model (maybe because it was cheap etc) or that it is as our daughter believes, a nasty POS! 😉

All the best ..

p.s. The Mrs is much happer with the Zanussi’s controls, certianly over the Aristons “random wheel of confusion” . 😉
