Nice!!!
I grew up with a Candy machines, and, I had some before...but some of them was in SO bad condition, so I decided to throw them away. Now, I have a D4.109X, Aquamatic 3, WD28, WD39, 133, P8.61X, and a P5.03X. The one which I grew up with, was my aunts, and that was a D4.104X. I have the booklet some place here, but cant find it now.. Here the Washer/dryer models was named 'Alisé', not Turbomatic. The machines I threowed away, was a Alisé WD27, D4.60X, D4.82X, and a D4.109X, which I used for some years before it broke down.

Hey matchboxpaul!
I really dont know anything about the machine on the pic I attached:P I found the pic on a norwegian site, but dont remember which. My Aquamatic does 550rpm. The aquamatic on the pic is'nt the one I have, because mine is in parts at the moment, because the 'spider' on the drum shaft is broken, but it's excactly like the one on the picture.

Candy D4.82X
TIMON! Is that a 1000rpm model or 800rpm???? If its 1000rpm thats the Candy my Mum had 1988 to 1992! 2 bearing changes in its life, 1 at 12 months and one at 18 months shows just how crappy they were and now why Hoovers are so crappy. The buttons should be Half load On off and Door release. Temp dial went * 30 40 50 60E 95 Featured the Inox "Stainless Formula" drum and should say 1000rpm on the right hand side of the fascia as the washer dryer Paul posted up the top from ebay about 3 months ago. Only thing I really remember about the large programme dial which I think was even bigger than a Hotpoint dial was the Chlorine bleach triangle and "Z" the drain cycle LOL. although the dial was really snappy and clicky. Also in your example the drum was different. it was the Servis Rainwave lookalikey in the 109X above it. Lots of memories sat in fron of that machine burning my hands on the door when it was boil washing my brothers nappies LOL! Nick | ||

I think.....
I think your mum had a D4.104X, the same machine I grew up with. It's like the 82X, but had 1000rpm. My aunt had one! Remember it wery well! The dials are really nice! Candy used gears on the motor for MANY yers, and it was a great system! I'll take pics of the garsystem on my Alisé WD28(which I think I must throw away, because it's mouse eaten:( ) as soon as I can. Candy is'nt crappy at all, you must just use it gently! I know peoples who still have Candy's from the 80's, and some of them have never been repaired on. The Formula Inox is a feature, I never have seen on other machines. The outer tub is shaped like a egg! It should save more water and energy because of that. Dont know if it had any effect. I have a 90%complete service manual for the 'D4' series here, which I've got from a reapairman I know wery well. He's a real Candyman!:P He has sold and repaired Candy in many many years. | ||

Thats right
That was because the Alisé WD28's missed a safety thermostat for overheating in the drying system. It was one or two fires caused by this, but they were called back, and got new thermostats. I know the guy who got the job to put on those thermostats in the entire Norway! He spend over a year doing this. He went all over the country. And it was ONLY ONE who did this in Norway, therefor it took pretty long time to get finished with a whole country.

Egg-shaped outer tubs... Didn't one of the German manufacturers have such a feature? Bosch or AEG? | ||
