Long lived Indesit !

[jag-12]

Just been to fix this machine
Model 610 only 600 rpm spin !
One of four in holiday lets at a local pub.
Purchased new and still going strong, fitted a couple of door seals and solved a couple of drain problems but otherwise totally reliable.

Much prefer the newer machines they make me a lot more money 😀

I used to love these when I worked for Indesit back in the day.
The hardest repair was a timer, even the bearings were easy to replace.
Simple, reliable and cheap.
But these were made before the beancounters took over.

I can beat that one, and I was amazed I still had one in stock, I fitted a mechanical pump to an old Indesit L6 last week, wish I had taken a photo.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the L6 was the hot and cold fill machine and that used the electric pump, the L5 series ( cold fill only ) used the mechanical pump…. must have fitted hundreds of the things 😆

sorry L5

Re: Long lived Indesit !

Some L5`s were hot and cold fill…..L5 V and the rarer L 8. Haven`t worked on one for 15 years. The 610 and Hirundo look a like used to suffer from blown timers but it is true that they were not too bad a machine.
