Personally I always thought any machine with integrated paddles is superiour to plastic paddles for obvious reasons. Hi matt, What does waterlocking mean and how does it relate to the gap between the inner and outer drum? | ||

Mine has to be early Hotpoint with that long snout. But the Tricity Bendix has a good drum with metal baffles with holes in them which you can see the shower effect, I must change that door seal I have been putting it off because it a pig to do. And the newer Hotpoint which is being used for the project, it also has metal baffles with holes, but you can’t see any signs of the shower effect like on the Tricity. Worst has to be the Zanussi with plastic baffles I had a WTD1085 and where always loos and rattled.

Q. What does waterlocking mean and how does it relate to the gap between the inner and outer drum? A. When the machine spins the amount of water cannot be removed by the drain pump quick enough and the gap is so small that the water drags on the drum slowing it and causing motor stress, that why new machines use profile spins, I have had the same problem with the project, I wanted to emulate the early machines which just did a single spin for each rinse of about 70 seconds but had to put short burst spins of 12 and then 24 seconds with some time between for the pump to catch up as the motor got tooo hot. | ||

My favourite drums were the hoover electron from the 80's and the drums from the electra/creda machines in the 80's too,i can't find any pictures of the machines at the moment | ||
