Re: OK to put washing powder into the drum?
I’ve always liked the way my 1989 Zanussi Jetsystem ZFL1023 was designed. The sump forms part of the Jetsystem circuit (it also contains the heater). Therefore, any powder which enters the sump is recirculated back into the drum. No eco ball needed!
Re: AEG Oko Lavamat 610 – broken programme selecter knob
Hi rwd.
You are quite right that the part for your model is no longer available. However, there is an alternative. It is the white version but it will fit (from the E-nr. you supplied you currently have the black version). The part number you need is 8996453025711. You can order it directly from the AEG or Electrolux website for £11.55. It is not in stock so may take a couple of weeks to arrive.
Don’t try to force the old knob off if you think it isn’t designed to, you may have to take the lid off the machine where you may find a holding screw. Another member might be able to help you there!
Hope that helps.
Tom.

Hi, If you post the PNC (E-Nr.) number from the rating plate, I can check for you.

Re: CHALLENGE: hotpoint electronic 800 de-luxe model No 9524
The Hotpoint 9524 is a superior machine to both the Indesit and the Servis. The machine does its thinking with a mechanical timer rather than flimsy electronics. It’s also very easy to repair compared with many others.
Re: Zanussi clutch pulley
Just to let anyone know who’s interested in the outcome of this, I managed to get a near equivalent motor and clutch complete from a German Ebay seller. The motor is actually for the German ‘Privileg’ range of machines which were manufactured by Zanussi.
The motor was a slightly different rating from the old one, but a former engineer told me that this wouldn’t be a problem. I fitted it today and it works much better than the old one which used to rattle and wouldn’t spin properly. On top of that it only cost me £31 including postage.
I love working on my old machines and it’s highly satisfying to get things working again.

Re: Zanussi clutch pulley
Does anyone know how I can remove the bit that’s broken? I can see a circlip behind but it’s very difficult to get to, is that holding the pulley on or the bit I want to remove? I tried pulling the inner bit off the ‘splined’ shaft but it doesn’t want to budge.
Thanks for any help.

If you just need the clutch shoe assembly as it fits onto the splined shaft there is always hope that someone has had one lying in the dust for 20 years, wouldnt be as bad to post as a motor or clutch – so i will have a look on Tuesday.
Cannot promise as there will be alot of dust on it by now !Thanks CJ, much appreciated. The image below shows where it is broken.

Hi Oliver and Phidom, thanks for replying.
I’m actually one of the ‘slightly mad’ people from automaticwasher.org. My hobby is keeping these old machines going so if I have to spend the money to keep the old washcraft going I will.
I also have a 1989 Zanussi Jetsystem with the enamelled tub which are quite rare machines. However, this uses a universal brush motor unlike my washcraft.

Re: Zanussi clutch pulley
I have since found the item I needed on German ebay, but the auction has already ended with no bidders. I’m going to try and get it relisted.

I was just wondering what’s that part at the bottom for the drum by the heater with wires coming from the back?The thermostat?
The Electrolux TDS Offline CD/DVD was much better and anyone could buy it directly from Electrolux.
In fact anyone can freely view exploded diagrams on Electrolux and Bosch websites. Unfortunately Indesit aren’t so generous.Re: 32 year old TI Jackson compact tumble drier.
The best thing to do is to find a model number for the nearest Creda branded equivalent. Many of the internal parts were probably the same. Some of those early Electra model numbers aren’t recognised anywhere but the Creda ones often are.

Re: washing machine timer
Ok, here are the inching times for your timer starting from Programme ‘G’ and ending after the final spin.
G * + 4′ Water Normal Level + Energetic Low Speed
— X + 0 – 2′ Water Normal Level + Delicate Low Speed + Heat 40c
— 8′ Water Normal Level + Energetic Low Speed
— 2′ Cooldown + Uni Low Speed
— 2′ Drain + Uni Low Speed
H * + 4′ Water High Level + Energetic Low Speed
— 2′ Drain + Uni Low Speed
— 1′ Drain + Spin
— 1′ Drain
— * + 4′ Water High Level + Energetic Low Speed
— 2′ Drain + Uni Low Speed
— 1′ Drain + Spin
— * + 3′ Water High Level + Energetic Low Speed
— 2′ Drain + Uni Low Speed
— 1′ Drain + Spin
I * + 1′ Water Normal Level + Energetic Low Speed
— 4′ (3)’ Water High Level + Energetic Low Speed
L 2′ Drain + Uni Low Speed
— 2′ Drain + Spin
— 4′ Drain + Spin (800rpm)
— STOPEach line indicates a position on the timer.
The asterisk indicates the filling time of the machine. i.e. the timer doesn’t start up until the water fills to the first level.
The ‘X’ means the time needed to heat the water to the correct temperature (in this case 40 degrees). The thermostop will prevent the timer moving on until this temperature is reached.
So for example, on the first line, * indicates the time taken to fill up + 4 minutes of tumble time. The timer will then move on to the next position and line.
Hope this is of help to you,
Tom.
Re: washing machine timer
There were two types of timer fitted to these machines. One is an AKO and the other is a Crouzet. Zanussi don’t recommended changing an AKO timer for a Crouzet.
Electrolux Distriparts list price for the Crouzet timer part number 50098606002 is £166.50.
Electrolux Distriparts list price for the AKO timer part number 50099519006 is £172.18.
Obviously you’d need to take the lid off the machine to see which timer it has.At this age, it’s probably not worth spending that much on a new timer, it might not even cure the fault. The cheaper option is to try and find a new timer motor if you can.
Zanussi won’t be able to tell you how long each section of the programme runs for. This is an old machine produced before Electrolux took over and the only technical info available is the PDF link I provided in my first post. The duration of each position on your timer is listed under ‘time interval’ next to the timer sequence chart.

Re: washing machine timer
Well the Washcraft series are just an electro-mechanical timer, start/run capacitor and induction motor aren’t they? I certainly can’t find any electronics on my Washcraft, although mine does have the variable clutch pulley on the motor because it’s a 1000rpm model.
I know the FL1012 was just about the first Zanussi to use a standard brush motor with electronic speed controller, although they did produce a version of the Z9292T with a brush motor for a short while. The 800rpm models continued to use an induction motor for a few more years in the FL812 etc.
