I was just sitting here, and thought..."why don't these manufacturers keep the aluminum arm, but before installing them...coat them with some sort of plastic?" I would think this would solve the failure of the spider arm on alot of the FL's. Hmmm....either that or they want it to fail in 5 years.

is the same, combination of metals & aluminium, in machines over here anyway, which is interesting because water softeners arnt a big thing here and so the powders would have to act as the water softener...the other thing we dont use is LCB...all of my vintage FL`s are running fine with no spider issues except for two 1970`s 18 series Hotpoint, which where particularly thinly made, & more likely to have been the stress of a fast spinning poorly balanced machine causing extra vibrations & stress on this particular spider..
Makes you think it more likely to be LCB without enough flushing rinses to clear away residues, I also wonder if its got to do with higher ambient temperatures and humidity levels over a longer period of time etc..(which freezing rainy snowy UK doesnt have..LOL) |

Soon we'll be given appliances as gifts when buying magazines, instead of DVD and books :) |

Well Mark, I've not put one drop of LCB in my Fridgemore (3.1 cu. ft.). I turn the water heater up to 155 degrees and use oxyclean. In fact, I quit using LCB in the Lady Shredmore and started a long soak with OxyClean. BTW mark, don't you use your Sanitize Cycle?--it should pretty much eliminate the need for LCB. It's just too caustic to machinery and damaging to fibers!!! In fact, my whites aren't wearing out as fast either now.
