One slightly unrelated topic struck me this afternoon. I was driving between local towns that constituted my ‘area’ for well over 45 years. It was quite normal then to take and often complete between 8 and 10 calls every day. The state of the traffic at all hours of the day currently would make that totally impossible.:(
I have answered your DM, but the user manual/ instructions are different to a ‘service’ manual. As I mentioned in the linked post this is a very basic, easy to use dryer, with high/low heat and a timer control settings.
Sad news, sorry to hear that. Wasn’t Peter involved in a business software related venture at some point?
I have to commend Ken & Dave for your patience in dealing with that complete buffoon Junk Yard. My threshold would have been reached a long time ago. [IMG2=JSON]{“data-align”:”none”,”data-size”:”full”,”src”:”https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/forums/core/core/images/smilies/plug.gif”}[/IMG2]:eek:
That was the old type drum with a much larger hole. The official fix for that was the power unit supplied with a plate to attach the bowl to the smaller bowl support on the new power units. You removed the old large alloy bowl support by using a cold chisel all the way around the centre.

Did you ever get to work on the original 1500? It had on fill that was mixed. There was a temperature sensor in the water inlet and on mid temp washes it used to pulse between hot and cold fill.
I stripped many a gearbox down, the small Bendix spring you mention was available as a spare for years. I even replaced those with the power unit in situ. Propped the machine up on four house bricks and undid and removed the gearbox sump from underneath. The hardest part was trying to get the small piece of the end of the spring that was still stuck in the bottom of the sump, sometimes couldn’t get it out so drilled another small hole in the bottom plate. Also saved a few gear mechanisms to repair other gearboxes. Those where the days. 😎
The old type pumps did leak and the clutch shoes did need changing.;) At one time the old large black box relay for the motor was mounted near the top on the inside of one of the four outer drum support brackets, directly in line with the pump. A pump leak used to spray directly onto the relay causing motor burn outs. But we are talking 1501/02/04 machines. The clutch shoes used to be a brown material which was ok. Then they changed it to a very hard green material which was not up to the job so it was changed to the last black type. The early bellows seal was fitted to a large brass counter face seal at the top of the support tube so there was nothing the water could get at to corrode apart from where the carbon face fitted under the bowl support.
Good grief, Mr T Clifton, that name is a real blast from the past. I am amazed at just how long these types continue in business.:(
Still have a pdf manual for that hidden away on One Drive. If you need a copy let me have your email by DM.;)
NB: I will be away from early tomorrow morning, back home Monday evening. Going to Wembley watching the Latics in the National League play off finals. Having been to Wembley 6 times in last two years following Man United this will make a pleasant change.:cool:
