| I have an old Philips washing machine still adequately churning from the early 1980s given me by emigrating friends to Australia. It's not plumbed into hot water. I pour in 3 or 4 boiled kettles through 'the soap hole' at start. Also, irritated by what seemed an inordinate time waiting before the door could be opened I took top off fiddled about and found a wire I was able to unclip that disabled the door-lock thus allowing me to open immediately after wash is complete. Have had to replace a frayed drive belt about 10 years ago which I did as I recall following a DIY YouTube demo. There are useful YouTube guides from the likes of eSpares that can make of all of us gadget mechanics when spares are needed for our domestic machines rather than buying new machines. |
