Help on old Zanussi washer

Re: Help on old Zanussi washer

Ho-hum, I have a US washing machine as well (One of the benefits of massive basements), so I don’t actually need the Zanussi at all, I just want it (for water saving reasons, power usage etc). There are all kinds of sub-texts here, ranging from the rubbish job that american top-loaders do of actually cleaning clothes, to the amount of energy and water they waste doing it. If you remember the old hoover twin-tubs back in about 1970, compared to my 2 year old Whirlpool US top loader, they both do about the same quality of job. While I agree that my ole’ zanussi may not be a state-of-the-art machine, It still enjoys a huge technological advantage over any affordable US machine. If I want something comparable, I would need to spend $700-800 for a european (Bosch etc) front-loader, as opposed to $200-300 for a top-loader. So thats my rationale – The time it takes to fix it isn’t a problem, neither is any reasonable cost, as I could recover the costs easily in energy savings. And then I get to learn how washing machines work as well… I know from over there, I sound like a sad old obsessive, but it would be really, really worth it to me to get it going.

I don’t think you do at all Mark, really I don’t, your argument in defence of my comments are plausible enough, and I accept that. 🙂

Nevertheless I do not retract my conclusions and I cannot see any way forward for you in this regard…sorry and best of luck mate 😉
