Candy Aquamatic 8 Small Washing Machine

[Brains]

Now don’t laugh – got one of these to replace. The ISE & standard size washing machine will not fit due to available space.

Any suggestions as to manufacturer, model etc from the washing machine experts?

Thanks for any suggestions

The Aqua’s were great, as were the Trio’s. People couldn’t replace them and had to have a repair. 😉

To my knowledge there’s nothing else like it and I don’t know if Candy still produce the Aquamatic.

The problem is that the drum has come loose. I sold this many years ago. Went to look at this only to find that the cupboards have been built round the machine – so I can’t get the machine out – waiting for kitchen fitter to come & dismantle cupboard so that I can get access – any clues as to what I might find wrong inside?

What you will probably find is the drum has “Rotted” off the spider.

These are predominately used by an older generation, (and I’ll say before anyone else, that’s why I remember them). In addition used mainly on cool washes. In time the aluminium spider of the drum shaft corrodes, and collapses.

Zanussi still do a Studio W/Machine, problem is finding someone who will supply.

Best of luck

Thank you. I suspected that had to do with the spider. Didn’t think it would rot.

Do you know if parts are still available or is it beyond it?

Dave got a bit for one about a year ago IIRC, so there may still be spares around.

Alex is totally correct though as that’s my experience also.
