Hi
You are really restricted as to what will fit and your criteria is tight as well which makes your choice limited to one I’m afraid. I have checked all known brands and names I know of and I cannot find anything else.
Ice King is only distributed through the independent channel, all products come with a two year warranty. As far as construction is concerned it should have a metal back web page for that model is here and the contact details also.

I did take a look at your ip address when I replied earlier which suggests you are posting from Spain, so it makes sense to check out there 🙂

Hi
The average UK family get through three loads a week approx.
With your level of use a domestic washing machine will not last you a couple of years. I think you would be better off with a semi commercial machine like the Maytag 3LMVWC315FW which IIRC is guaranteed for 25 loads per week at 10.5kg, it will complete a whole wash in about thirty minutes and is a good work horse.
When it comes to repair the whole front and sides come away after removing a few screws, easy to work on and spares readily available. Now for the not so good part 😉 these are hot and cold fill machines so a good supply of hot and cold water is a must also you will need to possibly upgrade your waste to a two inch diameter in order for the pump to push out at the correct rate.

So the space is less than 55cm which is a nuisance, however there is one which I have found which will fit nicely the IceKing FF139W and it fits most of your criteria.

Hi
Wow 1968 that was the year I came into this trade!!! I don’t think it will be repairable, spares have long disappeared as has the brand as it was known back then. The type of gas used back then is no longer available to use either so I think you are going to have to start again.
There is still a reasonable amount of 55cm wide refrigeration about, the old ME56 is it an under counter fridge with a freezer compartment or is it a fridge freezer?

Fair play on finding that booklet. The only thing you could do would be to phone Bosch spares on 0344 892 8979 as I have known obsolete parts to be available from the spares dept in Germany. It’s not guaranteed they will have this part but it’s worth a try.

Insurance companies tend to have preferred retailers and / or manufacturers. In some instances they may settle on a figure with you so you can purchase your own choice of machine.

Hi
Thirty year old gas hob and in such great condition, a credit to it’s owners 😀
At that age as you are finding it will be highly unlikely any parts will be available. If the shape of the actual controller under the button is shaped like a capital D there is a universal cooker knob you can get which has different size D adaptors. Available in our shop
here it won’t look pretty but it will be functional. That aside it’s new hob time.Don
Firstly I would not go with a 9 or 10 kg machine as the bearings are not upgraded to take the extra weight etc. I would go with the Beko first as the machines are well made for the price, spares are readily available, and at a reasonable cost and are easy to work on compared to others.
Hotpoint will always feature highly in most guides due to the volume market they command, again spares are readily available and at a reasonable cost.
Zanussi are mainly supplied through the John Lewis partnership, while the products are fine the spares are not as available and are more costly. That said the build on them is better than the other two.
As for the tumble dryer vented is better than condenser as a machine but will need to have a hose attached for steam to escape. White Knight is still the preferred brand. In Condenser the Beko is worth a look at as is the Zanussi. Hotpoint with their recall issues and modifications just don’t seem to cut it anymore.

since it is a free standing model it may not allow the start sw to work till door is closedDave
Freestanding model with the controls along the top edge like an integrated model.
I have this machine at home, everytime a selection on the touch pad is made there is a beep to confirm. When the start pad is pressed it also beeps but as Dave has rightly said the machine will not start until the door is closed.
