The heating elements... BLAST! They still have some drops! This will be the more difficult leak to stop...because you have to work cool but then there get whole hot!

That is a ton of water!!!! I can't believe that there's that much in the drum!!! It is a standard 5 kg model or something less? About "una visita tra langhe e roero..." I'm going to write you an email soon, but wait for my flu to go away ;) | ||

Great!
I am very happy for you. Don't worry about the leaks around the heating elements, hi-temp silicone will solve that problem. They do not get too hot around the connectors. Just be sure to clean the metal very well first (and be careful, even after all these years the edges of the tub will be very very sharp). Yes, you should get a higher temperature fill valve if you are going to fill it with hot water all the time. You don't have to use a twin pair, by the way. I should think the 3 minutes is more than enough unless you have very low water pressure. And even then, the cold water is cooling the valve. Keep us informed how it goes and thanks for the pictures. What a wonderful machine! | ||

"Un Restauro Perfetto"
Hi Diomede, well done on getting your dream machine working, I love the sounds as it drives the wash basket along, was surprised to see the level of water, although that would have the "tradizionalisti di lavatrice" clapping their hands with glee!!! You had me gasping with your fingers near that cheese grater drum...Oohhh, careful as you go... It looks such a simple solid design, you can see why it still runs today, thank you for sharing your experience with us, enjoy, Mike | ||
