My zanussi has died. Its got an timer fault thats make it do unusual tumbles and spin with no distribution and now its leakin like no ones business. So this now means i do not have a working collectable machine. I'm very upset. Now the search begins for something else. Im bidding on a Zanussi turbodry Washer/dryer from 94. Hopefully i'll get that. And of course looking out for something else as local as possible. Darren

hotpoint 95622
An excellent machine WDT1085 I have had the pleasure to own one for some time, But alas no longer. Shell rusted badly and the base plate cracked where shocks where mounted, shame. Servisslimline It is similar to the AW1053 in lots of ways, most of the components are the same; share the same motor, pump and so on. Lee | ||

So i now have the WDT1085....its immaculate...however..the seller was dishonest. he said it had been "damaged" in transit and something had gone loose. it was dark. I said i fix them and i would take a look. Seemed a nice enough guy. Got it home...there is so much movement in the drum its ridiculous,..just like Paul and robs Hotpoint microtronic. So its bearings are shot to sh*t. Thats just my luck atm nothings goin right. *sigh* However. I want to fix it. Though im not entirely confident about doin my own bearing changes. I may pay someone to do it. I just hope there isnt to much damage to anything else. I may even buy a new drum. So annoyin. I've loads of washing to do. And no working machine of my own to do it in. So i imagine the AEG is going to be very tired by the end of the week. I'll stick some pics/video of the machine later. Darren | ||

Hey guys, The annoying thing was, he told me in the pitch black it had been "damaged" in transit and something had come loose but quite happily took the full £31 off me. cheeky c**t. Very angry and disapointed but thats the direction of my life atm with current spell of luck. at least my newly single status allows me the time to correct these problems. Im well pissed off as he sold it as in good working order. How did he expect to sell it to joe public without them noticing? grr. Well a full bearing set isnt to expensive. its just the effort and time. And obviously i may find more damage as i investigate. Hoping it will be an easy fix. Darren | ||

sorry
Sorry your having a bad time at the mo Darren. Some people that sell things do that sort of thing. I bought a Servis about 3 or 4 years ago and they said the pump needed replacing. Yeah right. The circuit board had melted inside the machine and it was dead. No mention of that though lol. If you need any help let me know. Steve | ||

Finally had time to get the zanussi apart. Not good news, The belt had been spat off and everything was tight on the spider, so assumably the bearings have collapsed. I'm not confident to change bearings especially with all the extra parts as its a Washerdryer. So im goin to price up what it would cost for Serviceforce to do it. & my other option is to contact my indepentant repairman who taught me loads when he repaired our hotpoints when i was a kid..however he's not savvy with zanussi's. So best get saving my pennies and reasearchin my options. Darren | ||

Something good happened....at last.
Okay. So i've been havin worst bout of luck right now..without bein too personal or indepth.i was in a str8 relationship..have 2 kids..1 10months, one on the way..i've left my partner because im gay...came out once b4 and then tried to cover it up as had no support, depressed, yada yada.so ontop of leavin my family etc..i've been seein my son regularly..until now.my ex has started to be a bitch about access to the point of i have a solicitors appt on tues...my zanussi died...then my new zanussi was shafted on arrival..good times hey. Well this weekend i got to confirm the fault on the newer zanussi and have contacted some repairman about what we can do to fix it and keep cost down. Today i've tackled the WDT1061 to find out where the blasted leak was coming from...the spring from the cabinet to the drum is right next to the dispenser and one of the hoses was leaking so i assume an unbalanced spin has given it a yank to cause a leak. So i've sorted that and it seems to behavin just fine in terms of the timer issues. I ran it for 10mins on the drying function before i ran a cycle to warm it up as its in the garage. So a small bit of luck for me in a shitty situation..heres a pic for you of the machine minus her lid Darren
