“Work horse”

★★★★★

written by on 09/12/2022

History-
Had this machine now for knocking on roughly 20 years.This poor thing has been on almost continuously. When we got it we were just starting our family. As they grew, 1x is a plasterer and 1x a mechanic.

Problems-
1, Ooriginal dryer heater had the L shaped heater which shook loose on its mounting causing a bad rattle.
2, Display failed.
3, Drum bearings
4, Dryer heater blocked

Repairs-
1, Replaced dryer assembly with the coil style heater type.
2, Display fitted with a current limiting resistor in the back light supply. Fault looks like solder dry joints inside display. Still working now..
3, Rear drum, spider, spider bolts, drum pully bolt and drum half seal replaced. Done this now 4x times.

Had its faults but bloody hell it's had some stick. No regrets buying. Yes I am a fully qualified electronics engineer.
