I told you many times about my first washing machine...it's a 1982 FL Sangiorgio. This is the machine of my childhood and the one which I felt in love with washinc machine...

I don't know if now I'd be a washers' lover if I hadn't watchted at so many splashy whitest whites through out that squared windowed lid...

Here's the machine in my landry!
Ah...on left the two TL (they're both TLHA!) the lefter one is the Ignis I'm restoring the other is the new one which replaced this Sangiorgio in the 2001...it's a Whirlpool AWT 8104 D

The pusbuttons

Red is ON
Then E is for decrease the water during rinse cycles only
The spin stop and the last on left is the rinse-hold, it can be used to rinse-hol during delicate cycle and has got the second function to be used with the 1 (heavi pre-wash) to stop it and soak for an indeterminate period of time...

Diomede

That's a wonderful machine you've got there, hard to believe it's 25 years old, looks more like 2 or 3 lol!

Hope the machine still works, a bit of white paint is all that's needed to cover the rust.

I'd love to see a vid of it working!

Great machine Diomede, I love the square door, it looks like the older Hoovers. What's the spinspeed? 800rpm? Now you're taking pictures I'd also love to see some pictures of the Whirlpool.

The 825 was 500rpm not adjustable
The 827 (I think is the model of the pic below) was 400/800 setable by a pushbutton in the same place where on 825 there's the rinse-hold.
Both allow you to eliminate the spin.

Anyway, we decided to take it apart buying the new Whirlpool because the spin has been becoming slower...while the noise higher!!! So as we lived in a flat...in respect of the other tenants we decided to do so...
The rinse is not great...my mother always reset dial again on 6 so as the cycle was completed she make the machine rinse once more!

Is Sangiorgio a Merloni brand ?

No it isn't! It never has been so. It was an indipendet brand (like many others in past here in Italy) then absorbed by international holdings.

Now is French Brandt's brand

Here you are the actual Sangiorgio's website and on the link the Fagor-Brandt website.

But incredible (only Italian can make this!) the brand are doble and identical...
The other one is strictly Italian and is not silver but red!
