Re: Zanussi S218T problem
It’s all mighty fine! The door does lock, I’ve just been and checked after you mentioned it. The machine now does the long spin and then clicks onto the finish line as it should and also takes the fabric conditioner on the final rinse.
I found the receipt for this machine earlier and it was bought in October 1982. Up to today it has never needed anything doing to it, It has been used each and every day for one or more loads since purchase, which is why I am reluctant to part with it as I know I won’t get a brand new one as good as this unless I spend a fortune. Not to mention that it is whisper quiet even on full spin and washes as good as the day it was bought.
Re: Zanussi S218T problem
I’ve had a friend of a friend take a gaze over the machine today just for an opinion on the situation. 2 bits of solder, 2 small pieces of plastic for the door (something had gone brittle and snapped so thankfully a new interlock wasn’t required :)) and it’s good as new. 😀 Thanks for the advice anyway chaps.
Re: Zanussi S218T problem
Ok thanks for that. reading that, I thought it was worth perservering with, however another anomaly has come to light just today. I put some things on a synthetic wash which works perfectly fine, it stopped at rinse hold, so i then moved it to spin and this was all performed as normal…everything hunky dory. however after the machine had been finished about 40 minutes i went to go and retrieve my washing and the door was still locked! I left it another hour on top of that and the door still wouldnt open, finally after approx 2 and 3/4 hrs the door opened. The door normally lets you open it within about 3 minutes. I have done another load which finished precisely 56 minutes ago and I am awaiting access to my laundry once again! HELP! I dont really want to send my beloved old machine to the tip if i don’t have to, because apart from the recent sticky spin cycle it washes and rinses beautifully. Also, I am now wondering what spin speed my machine is, after all these years I don’t know where the book is for it! But my friend has bought a Tricity Bendix 1400 spin machine…and well…basically my old faithful still gets towels drier! any ideas what speed my spin could be????
